Thin Crust Dough
1 envelope dry yeast
1/4 teaspoon sugar
2/4 cup lukewarm water (105 F) 1 3/4 cups unbleached all-
purpose flour or bread flour
3/2 teaspoon salt
Stir yeast and sugar into water, let sit for 8 minutes or
so. In a bowl (or food processor) mix flour and salt Add the
yeast mixture. If using food processor, continue running
until dough forms a ball, 10-20 seconds. By hand, mix with a
sturdy spoon until ready to knead. On a floured surface turn
out dough. Knead dough for 2 minutes or so. If dough is a
little sticky, dust your fingers and counter with flour,
(but as little as possible). Roll out by hand for a 12"
pizza. Place in lightly oiled pizza pan using your
fingertips to press up to the edge and forming a shallow
lip. Sauce, cheese, and top with desired ingredients. Bake
at 500F in pre-heated oven for 8-12 minutes, the
edges will turn a nice golden brown when done. Dough
will be firm and crispy, not soggy and soft like many
other doughs.
