Description

From the blog "one upon a plate" – http://onceuponaplaterecipes.blogspot.com/2009/11/fast-thin-and-crispy-crust-pizza.html – "this is the recipe my family always uses when we need a fast pizza dough, it requires virtually no rise-time and bakes up firm and very crisp. But don't worry if you want to make it ahead, or if you have left over dough, just form into a ball (or balls) and wrap in cling film and store in the refrigerator up to one day, or freeze for longer storage."

Ingredients

  • Quick-rising Yeast
  • Granulated Sugar
  • Water
  • All-purpose Flour
  • Salt
  • Olive Oil
  • Pizza Sauce

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl or glass measuring cup dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water, stir and set aside for 10 minutes
  2. Mixture should begin to bubble and foam at the end of the time
  3. In a medium bowl, combine flour and salt, set aside
  4. Add the liquid yeast mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until well combined
  5. Flour a work surface and knead dough for a couple of minutes until smooth and elastic
  6. Shape the dough into 1 large, 2 medium, or 4 small pizzas using whatever method you prefer
  7. Rolling pin, stretching or off the board between your two hands, in the air
  8. If you have a pizza peel, sprinkle lightly with corn meal and build your pizza
  9. If not, lightly grease a flat cookie sheet and build your pizza
  10. I brush the formed dough very lightly with olive oil, then pizza sauce, cheese then any other other ingredients
  11. Keep toppings rather sparse if you want a really crispy crust
  12. Bake in hot oven until as crispy as desired
  13. Usually 8 to 12 minutes, but this will vary depending upon pizza stone vs
  14. Pan and the toppings you have chosen
  15. You can also make this in a food processor ~ mix the water, sugar and yeast as directed in a small container
  16. Place flour and salt in bowl of processor and pulse a few times to mix
  17. Add the liquid yeast mixture and pulse until blended
  18. Adding more flour until mixture just forms a ball and the dough follows the blade around the bowl
  19. To remove from food processor bowl, flour your hands well, form dough into a ball and shape as directed
