I made everything from scratch. I used the recipe below for the crust (will make 3 crusts). I make three thin 12" crusts ahead of time and freeze them. I found it necessary to poke holes in the crust prior to baking or they tend to warp. My pizza sauce is just a 15 oz can of Hunts tomato sauce, 1 can of tomato paste, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, 1/4 tsp onion powder, 1 TBSP Italian seasoning, 1 tsp dried basil and a pinch of sugar. I do not use any salt because any meat toppings and cheese will have all the salt you need.
