Thin Crust Pizza
Ingredients
- 2¼ tsp yeast
- 2 tsp granulated sugar
- 1 C warm water
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 TBSP olive oil
13½oz (385g) bread flour
Sauce and Toppings of choice
Directions
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- In a large bowl mix together the yeast, sugar, and warm water and allow to sit for 10 minutes until foamy.
- Stir the olive oil and salt into the yeast mixture, then add the flour about 1/2 cup at a time until soft dough starts to form.
- When dough has started to pull away from the sides of the bowl use your hands to incorporate and knead the rest of the flour into the dough on a lightly floured surface.
- Roll the dough into one ball, and slice in half evenly. At this point you can roll out both balls of dough for two 10 -12 inch pizzas. Or, store the remaining dough in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or the freezer for up to one month.
- Roll dough out to 1/4 inch thick and place on a pizza stone or well oiled pizza pan.
- Bake pizza in preheated oven for 5 minutes.
- Remove the pizza from the oven and top with your favorite sauce and toppings.
- Continue baking pizza 10-15 minutes until crust is golden and crispy, and cheese is melted.
