Anyone know a great pizza dough recipe an maranerra sauce recipe.?
Need the dough to be fluffy not too crispy. The maranerra sauce need it to be a bit spicy not hot and tangy.

Best Pizza Dough Recipe (c/o Emeril Lagasse)
1 cup very warm water
1 package active dry yeast
1 tsp. sugar
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. salt
3 cups unbleached white flour (approx.)
Place water (make sure it is warm, but not hot or it will kill the yeast) into bowl with package of yeast, sugar, and olive oil. Mix together and place bowl in warm, draft-free place for 5 minutes to "proof" the yeast. After 5 minutes, check the bowl to make sure the yeast looks foamy -- this tells you the yeast is living and ready to go. Then, put your salt and 1 1/2 cups of flour into the bowl and mix. Add flour 1/4 cup at a time and knead by hand until dough is smooth but still slightly tacky. Make dough into round ball and place into a different bowl that has been greased with olive oil (or you can just put olive oil on your hands and rub the dough-ball). Cover loosely with plastic wrap and put in a warm, draft-free place for 1 1/2 to 2 hours to let the dough rise. It should double in size.
This recipe provides 2 pizza doughs if you want them small or one large pizza dough. Once the dough has doubled in size, sprinkle flour on your counter and roll it out to your specs, add the toppings, cook, and enjoy. I usually cook my pizza in an oiled cast-iron skillet at 400 degrees for 30-40 minutes, turning once half-way through cooking.
Here's another neat trick to do with this dough - if you have any left-over, you can heat up canola oil in a pan (deep enough to have the dough float) to about 350 degrees and fry it up into doughnuts, about 2-3 minutes each side. When you pull them out, drain them on a paper towel and sprinkle with cinnamon & sugar or powdered sugar. My husband LOVES these! :)

I can't help with the marinara sauce, but my favorite pizza dough is Jiffy Pizza Dough. I get it at WalMart in the spaghetti sauce/pizza sauce section. I like it for cheesy bread or garlic sticks.

or, make a basic bread dough, that will come up fluffy not thin and crispy, sometimes, they sell awesome fresh made dough in the grocery store, i use that too.
