pizza dough help

I made homemade pizza last night using Sally Singer's recipe out of "A New Way to cook". Ingredients were simply 3 c. flour, packet of yeast, a cup of warm water, pinch sugar, tsp. of salt, some olive oil.

I was pretty disappointed. Baked crust tasted yeasty, and the consistency was pretty dense. Any hounds have tips for me?

I suggest using a fraction of the yeast and letting the dough rise overnight in the fridge. This dramatically improves the quality of the dough and reduces any too-yeasty taste.

I like thin crust pizza- here is my recipe:
1½ cups flour
1 tsp. salt
½ cup water
2 tsp yeast
4 Tbl olive oil

You can also increase the water by a smidge, and add some grated parm. reg.
good luck

thanks for the tips on the pizza, esp. during this thanksgiving frenzy!

No problem. We make two pizzas every Sunday afternoon for "drop in" friends and family, and they always love this recipe. Unfortunately, I am on a weight loss program, so I don't get to enjoy the eating of it- 0nly the cooking of it.

Happy Holiday!!
