I'm glad you appreciate a good looking pizza! It's my second try at making pizza. Until just this week I had no idea that it was possible to make good pizza from home. So this is all so mindblowing to me.

I would like to improve. Here's how my technique goes so far.

-Some amount of flour, a yeast packet, and following the instructions on the yeast packet I mixed in sugar and warm water.
-I stirred it around and added just enough water so that it looked like this >>10080901
-I put a lid over it and waited about ten minutes
-I coated a cutting board and my hands with flour and pulled out the sticky dough and powdered it with more flour so that it wouldn't stick to anything.
-I proceeded to knead in some garlic powder and paprika
-then I took a rolling pin and flattened it out
-I poured cornmeal on the pizza pan and spread it out evenly and transferred the dough onto it
-I want to make my own pizza sauce in the future, but right now I used a $1 bottle of Ragu "Pizza Sauce" and applied a very generous amount onto my pizza
-Then I shredded mozzarella cheese directly on top of it
-It was at this point that I finally folded the dough all around making the crust.
-then I put on the pepperonis
-sprinkled more garlic powder onto the crust and drizzled a little olive oil onto the crust all around and dabbed it with a paper towel and it looked like my pic
-Then I baked it at 500degrees F for 5 minutes and lowered the temperature to 400degrees for 10 minutes after. I only lowered it because I'm uncertain about the ramifications of cooking at a high temp for too long.

Any advice? I only went out of my way to spill how I did it because I want critiques and advice so I can make BETTER pizza. I'm still working out my technique, but it's working so far. My pizza tastes really good. >>10081032
