Great post, Love the crust and the spices here!


I only used this recipe for the crust and cooking directions (although the entire recipe sounds awesome!) And instead of the cajun seasoning in the dough, i just used a teaspoon of garlic powder. It turned out awesome :) I made plain ol' cheese for the kids and put some bell peppers and onion on mine...thanks for the great crust recipe and I'll be sure to try the entire thing soon ;)
