Homemade pizza crust

So I have this buddy of mine who, in my opinion, is a bread expert! hehehe
He gave me this pizza crust recipe.
It's great. I have used it plain for pizza crusts, made little garlic breads, some basil bread sticks, some nutella hazelnut and raspberry rolls, etc.

VERY versatile, easy peasy to make.

I urge you to never buy pizza again and just made this crust over and over again! It is fantastic!
