How to Make Thin Crust Pizza

Ingredients

1 packet active dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 cup warm water
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
Tomato paste or tomato sauce
Grated mozzarella cheese
Desired toppings (i.e mushrooms, bell pepper, bacon, pepperoni)

How to make it

Steps

1 Dissolve the yeast and sugar.

 Dissolve yeast and sugar in one and one-half cups warm water. Stir and set to the side.

2 Mix the flour, salt, and olive oil.

 Combine all-purpose flour, salt, and olive oil in a large bowl. Mix with your hands or use a spoon.

3 Have the dough form.

 Pour yeast mixture into the bowl and stir until a dough forms.

4 Knead the dough. 

Spread flour over a working surface and knead the dough for roughly 10 minutes until it is thin and elastic.

5 Clean the large bowl for another use.

6 Let the dough rise. 

Roll dough into a ball and place it back in the bowl, then cover it with cling film. Let dough rise for 30 minutes; by then it should have roughly doubled in size.

7 Form the dough into a circle.

 Flatten the dough into a large circle with a rolling pin until you can roughly see through it.

8 Spread the paste or sauce on the pizza.

 Transfer the flattened dough onto an oiled baking tray or sheet. Use a pastry brush or spoon to brush tomato paste or sauce evenly across the surface.

9 Sprinkle grated cheese evenly on the pizza.

10 Add the toppings.

 Add your desired toppings, making sure each slice will have at least one of each topping.

11 Bake. 

Place the pizza in an oven and bake at 425 F for 10-15 minutes, or until evenly browned.

12 Finished.
