Pizza is like sex

When it's good, it's amazing...and when bad, it's still pretty fucking good.

OK, it's an old joke, but a damn good one.

But I'm in search of the "truly amazing" here. Pizza, that is (doing OK in the sex dept.). Anyway, I've always wanted to learn how to make a good pizza crust. But let's be honest, pizza is, when you get down to it, just a piece of bread.

Now, I'm a pretty decent cook. In fact, I'm pretty damn sure I could make a positively killer red sauce for a pizza...and from scratch...but bake bread? Make a crust? I'm clueless. Ready made? Meh...why even try?

Making bread. It's one of the things I've always promised myself I'd learn, but still haven't had the courage to really try in earnest, I have no idea how many years later...still, I contemplate the killer pizza...and then I spot an article.

Hmmm...could it be this is the how-to I was looking for?
