Homemade Pizza

[TonyDown]

There are other posts about pizza, but this one is specific to authentic, traditional homemade pizza from scratch.

Does anyone still attempt making both the dough and the sauce from scratch for your pizza?  What special techniques do you integrate into your recipe?

We grew up with Mom's thin crust pizza from scratch, and so that tradition carries on with my siblings and me.

We let the dough rise again after spreading by hand.   The video below shows our same method, to spread by hand on a greased sheet. 

We pre bake the dough and then load the sauce and toppings to finish baking.  This gives our crust the desired crispiness.

In the video, cooked potato is added to the dough.  I wonder how many Italian pizzerias do this?
