FABULOUS PIZZA CRUST!!

Oh this is good pizza dough!! Oh it's good pizza dough that makes amazing pizza crust!! Years ago I always made my pizza crust. Then I stopped. I decided I was just as happy with the packages I would buy at the store and mix up and I still think they are good. Lately though I thought as good as those are I know making my own would be better for us and I would save a little too so I started making it again. This recipe is so so easy and so so good. Here is a tip I just recently learned. You may already know it but if not here it is...... always use a stone pizza pan if you can. I have had a stone pizza pan for years and I used to use it a lot but somehow over time I stopped and went back to my metal one. I won't do that again.

I was so excited to find this recipe! I'm not much on fresh salmon myself  I know it's crazy but I would rather have canned salmon than fresh. All of our kids really like fresh salmon and often order it when they go out. Olivia had told me she was coming out on Tuesday so I knew what I was going to make. I had found several recipes each a little different so this is what we came up with in the end. Well not this exact picture but ours did look like this. I was excited to see what Olivia thought. When she got here she asked if Lucas was coming to try it and I told her I didn't know  so she texted him and he came over. Later Jess came home from work and she tried it.

All right then without further delay here's the recipe. You will need four medium size salmon fillets You
