V'S STRAWBERRY PIZZA (THICK CRUST)
My family loves when I make Strawberry Pizza and can hardly wait until Strawberries are in season. The most raved about part has always been the crust. So I decided to experiment and make a thicker crust pizza. This turned out to be awesome. If you enjoy this type of dessert, you gotta try my new way to make the crust thick! New family favorite. Mmmmm ;) Note: You can save time by buying prepared sugar cookie dough sheets )pkg of 3 or 1 1/2 pkg sugar cookie squares) and place them on a cookie sheet, cook for 7 minutes (Very Important not to cook any longer). Let completely cool before assembling. Pretty much how I do it most of the time ;)

Tips:
- Use the right flour: Bread flour or all-purpose flour can be used for thick crust pizza, but bread flour will produce a chewier crust.
- Activate the yeast: Always activate the yeast in warm water with a little sugar before adding it to the dough. This will help the yeast to grow and produce carbon dioxide, which will make the dough rise.
- Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough develops the gluten, which gives the pizza crust its strength and elasticity. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise: After kneading, let the dough rise in a warm place for at least 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size. This will give the yeast time to produce carbon dioxide and make the dough light and airy.
- Use a hot oven: The best way to get a crispy crust is to bake the pizza in a hot oven. Preheat the oven to the highest temperature possible, usually around 500°F (260°C).
- Don't overcrowd the pizza: When adding toppings to the pizza, don't overcrowd it. Too many toppings will make the pizza soggy.
- Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown: The pizza is done baking when the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Conclusion:
With the right ingredients and techniques, you can make a delicious thick crust pizza at home. Experiment with different toppings and cooking methods to find your favorite pizza recipe.
