I made this for the first time last night. With homemade pizza sauce and fresh veggies, WOW. We have a new family favorite. I got the recipe from Recipe Zaar.
Pizza Dough for Thin Crust Pizza
2 1/2 cups flour (I used 1 cup whole wheat;1 1/2 cup white)
1 pkg yeast (2 1/4 tsp)
1/4 tsp sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 cup warm water
1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
cornmeal for sprinkling
Directions
1. Mix sugar in warm water.
2. sprinkle yeast on top.
3. Wait 10 minutes or until it gets foamy.
4. Pour into a large bowl.
5. Add flour,salt,olive oil.
6. Combine.
7. Knead for 6-8 minutes until you have a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (add a bit more flour if you need to).
8. Cover and let rest for 20-30 minutes.
9. Lightly grease two 12 inch pizza pans.
10. Sprinkle with a little bit of corn meal.
11. Divide dough in half.
12. Place each half on a pizza pan and pat it with your fingers until it stretches over the whole pan. (I used my rolling pin at the end just to make it smooth and even).
13. If desired,pre-bake at 425 F for 10 minutes. (I don't do this).
14. Then spread with pizza sauce and use the toppings of your choice.
15. bake at 425 F for 10-20 minutes,until bubbly and hot. (mine took 15 min).
Makes two 12 inch pizzas. Dough may also be frozen. Grease the inside of a zip lock baggie before putting in dough. This will make removing the dough easier when ready to use.
Have a great day!
