This is my favorite recipe for pizza after trying many. I use a scale to weigh my ingredients, so it is in grams. One cup of flour is about 120 grams. This makes two large pizzas so you can cut it in half if you like.
Substitute part whole wheat flour if you like. I always half-bake the crust ahead of time, a so I can be with my guests! You can put the toppings on an hour before. Then just pop it in the oven when you want to eat!
