Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Active dry yeast
- 0.5 teaspoon Granulated sugar
- 150 milliliters Warm water (not too hot, around 110°F / 43°C)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir lightly and allow it to sit for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture becomes foamy. This activates the yeast.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well to ensure the salt is evenly distributed.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix the ingredients together with a spoon or your hands until a rough dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a clean, lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Form the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover the bowl with a damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let the dough rest for 30-40 minutes, or until it has slightly risen (thin crust dough does not require a full double-rise).
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or an upside-down baking sheet inside to heat up for a crispier crust.
After the dough has rested, punch it down gently and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll it out thinly to your desired size, typically around 10-12 inches in diameter.
Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough onto parchment paper. Add your desired toppings.
Slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is crispy and golden brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a minute, and slice it up to serve. Enjoy your thin crust pizza!
