Homemade Pizza Crust & Breadsticks Success

I haven't made homemade pizza dough and breadsticks in a while because my hubby has complained to me about the salty taste of the pizza.  So last night, I decided to put my no rise yeast dough recipe to the test!  I have used the recipe for rolls before but hadn't even thought about using the no rise yeast dough recipe for pizza crust. 

So I made up the dough and made breadsticks first.  Here is the steps I did for the breadsticks...

1. Once the dough was mixed up, I divided it into 3 parts.(later I would realize that I could have divided it more!)
2. I took one part of the dough and rolled out the dough into a rectangle shape.
   
3. I took my pizza cutter and sliced the dough into stripes.
4. I melted 3 TBSP. margarine once melted I added 2-3 tsp. garlic powder and stirred the two together making a garlic butter sauce. 
5. I took my slicone brush and brushed the garlic butter sauce on the stripes of dough. 
6. I sprinkled grated parmesan cheese liberally over the dough. 
7. I put the dough into the oven at 400° for 10-15 minutes. and the end result.....

After doing the bread sticks, I took the other two parts of the dough and rolled them out for a large and medium size pizza. I used my large Pampered Chef pizza stone and my regular size Pampered Chef pizza stone.   With using my stones I decided not to grease them.   I cooked the dough on the stones for about 10 minutes BEFORE adding the toppings. This will help eliminate soggy crusts! When I took the crusts out after cooking them that is when I realized that I probably could have made three pizza crusts from the two crusts that I had done. 

At any rate, the pizza turned out delicious!! The picture above shows you what was left of my two pizzas! The crust was definitely still a thick crust rather than thin crust but it wasn't too doughy and still got rave reviews from the family!  Hubby also commented  that the pizza tasted a lot less salty than my previous attempts at homemade pizza! 

So I think I have finally found a new pizza dough for my family! Now to find a pizza sauce that doesn't taste salty but still has flavor!
