I *love* the Boboli crusts from the store! Now that I am trying to make more things from scratch, I too am looking for a good crust recipe.

Here's one from my Betty Crocker cook book that I tried last week. I really like it, 'cause you can do thin (which is fast) or thick (which takes longer).
Pizza Crust
2.5 to 3 cups all-purpose flour
1 TBSP sugar
1 tsp salt
1 pkg (or 2.25 tsp) regular or quick active dry yeast
3 TBSP olive or vegetable oil (I used olive oil)
1 cup very warm water
In large bowl, mix 1 cup of the flour, the sugar, salt, and yeast. Add oil and warm water. Beat with electric mixer on medium speed 3 minutes, scraping bowl frequently. Stir in enough remaining flour until dough is soft and leaves sides of bowl. Place dough on lightly floured surface. Knead 5 to 8 minutes, or until dough is smooth and springy. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rest 30 minutes.
For thin crusts: Heat oven to 425 degrees F. Grease 2 cookie sheets or 12-inch pizza pans with oil. Divide dough in half. Pat each half into 12-inch circle on cookie sheets. Partially bake 5 to 8 minutes or until crust just begins to brown. Add toppings and bak for 8 to 10 minutes.
For thick crusts: Grease two 8-inch square pans or 9-inch round pans with oil. Sprinkle with cornmeal. Divide dough in half. Pat each half in bottom of pan. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rise in warm place 30 to 45 minutes or until almost doubled in size. Move oven rack to lowest position. Heat oven to 375 degrees F. Partially bake 20 to 22 minutes or until crust just begins to brown. Add toppings and bake for 20 minutes, or until crust is melted.
I've only used this dough for thin crust. I failed at "patting" the crust into a circle. I think next time I'll just use my rolling pin. And I cooked it with cornmeal on a pizza stone, and it turned out great.
HTH!

I've made Jay's Signature Pizza Crust several times with usually good results. I make it in my bread machine.

I'm going to second Sara's love of the Boboli crusts - they have regular, thin and individual size crusts. I think they even came out with a whole wheat one, too. I swear by the thin crust - I know it's not homemade, but if you want quick and easy, it's the way to go.

I'm going to try this! I have a bread machine collecting dust.... :O
I usually buy the Pillsbury crust in the cans for calzones, but it can get expensive! It'd be nice to find a home made one that is good!
