Pizza is the Shizznit...first half up to sauce sorry

Pizza has so much potential. It has a mind of its own and always produces an amazing flavor adventure for your mouth! That is of course if you make your own or order it from a reputable pizza shoppe. Pizza Hut, Papa John and Gino, Domino's, suck it because your pizza is a shame. Oh and if you like any of those no disrespect intended, thats your choice. So anyways! This magical unicorn food of the flavor forest! It all begins with the perfect crust, and I am aware of the various types of crust and different preferences that people have but I'll just give you one and if you want a thin crust guess what...roll it thinner it's a miracle! If you roll something that was fat into a thinner version it's like a whole new experience! Wow. So yes the crust, I happen to prefer my crust to actually have a bit of flavor so here is a decent formula for such a creation:

Pizza D'OH haha thats funny because of the Simpsons....yea
1 Package of dry-active yeast
3/4 c 110 degree water not hotter no cooler in order for it not to kill the yeast
2 c all purpose flour
1t salt
1t sugar
-Sprinkle yeast into warm water to dissolve then add the salt or sugar(NOT BOTH) to feed the yeast, let rise for 5-8min
-Add the rest of the ingredients and mix with a hook attachment or your hands and knead for 2-3 minutes until dough is smooth and not sticky
-Spray a bowl with non stick spray and transfer dough, rise 15-20 minutes
-Roll out to desired thickness, add topping and sheet
-Bake at 425 degrees for 10-15 minutes.

And thats a pretty alright dough for a beginner....so what do you want on your pizza?
I think many people get confused when it comes to dressing your pizza, it already has a sweet pair of linen trousers on what the heck kind of shirt should it wear? A Hawaiian one? A silk button up? A smoking jacket?!? Oh my heck i have no clue! Well lets think about cologne first, aka sauce. ......ok people i will continue this tomorrow.
