Thin Crust Dough
Ingredients
- 1 envelope Red Star Dry Yeast (#110400)
- 1/4 tsp. Sugar (#110650)
- 3/4 cup lukewarm Water
- 1-3/4 cups All-Purpose Flour or Hi Gluten Flour (#100150)
- 1/2 tsp. Salt (#110600)
Directions
- Stir yeast and sugar into water, let sit for eight minutes or so. Prepare Thin Crust Dough according to recipe found in Recipes Section.
- In a bowl (or food processor) mix flour and salt.
- Add the yeast mixture. If using a 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.
