"I can cook most anything, but I tend to be something of a train wreck when it comes to making yeast doughs/breads, LOL."

Do you have a bread machine? If not, get one ASAP ... you'll be the best breadmaker in a relatively short period of time. Pizza crust is a breeze. Flour, water, olive oil, yeast -- but there are a lot of recipes -- I made a predominately corn-meal crust several weeks ago that was different and super. Crunchy, but not hard ... it would be even better with ingredients like refried beans, peppers, onions with white and cheddar cheeses, rather than the traditional italian-type.

I’ve given thought to buying a bread machine, actually. I can do first rate simple breads - biscuits, Irish Soda Bread, and the like. I think where I go wrong with yeast doughs is A) I’m impatient and B) I like to improvise when I cook, and baking doesn’t tend to reward messing with amounts and ratios of flour, water, etc. in a recipe.
