Homemade Pizza

My work with bread continues. Last week we made homemade pizza. I was inspired by the delicious recipes in Cooking Light and thought I would give the margarita pizza a go. I was a little concerned when I read that the pizza dough had to be refrigerated for 24 hours, when I needed it to be ready in a 1/3 of the time. I almost decided to make something else, but I figured there had to be another recipe that didn't require so much prep time. I found a recipe in The Joy of Cooking and gave it a go. Here is our margarita pizza from the first night:

We had a busy day on Friday, so dinner needed to be quick and easy. It turned into another pizza night. :) The pizza dough for the second pizza was refrigerated overnight and I have to say, we liked it much better. I am not sure why it's better to have it in the refrigerator for a long time but it seems to do the trick. Here is our pizza from Friday night:

What about you? Do you have a favorite pizza recipe? Do you have any tricks of the trade you can share? I want to try whole wheat pizza dough next and am on the hunt for a good recipe.
