Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 25 grams Fine semolina flour or cornmeal (optional for additional crispiness)
- 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 150 milliliters Warm water (approximately 43°C or 110°F)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 150 grams Tomato sauce
- 150 grams Shredded mozzarella cheese
- as desired Pizza toppings of choice (e.g., pepperoni, vegetables, fresh basil)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, semolina flour (if using), instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Create a well in the center and add warm water and olive oil. Mix with a spoon or your hands until the dough begins to come together.
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 3-5 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough ball back in the bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rest for 10 minutes while you prepare your toppings and preheat the oven.
Preheat your oven to the highest temperature setting (usually 250°C or 475°F) and place a baking sheet or pizza stone inside to heat up.
After the dough has rested, cut it in half to make two pizzas or keep it whole for one large pizza.
Roll out the dough thinly (about 2-3mm thickness) on a lightly floured surface using a rolling pin. Transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
Spread an even layer of tomato sauce over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Add shredded mozzarella cheese and any desired toppings over the sauce.
Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated baking sheet or pizza stone. Bake in the oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crispy and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and allow the pizza to cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your homemade thin and crispy crust pizza!
