12 Thin Pizza Dough Crust Recipes

QUICK AND EASY PIZZA DOUGH RECIPE

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a medium bowl, stir the yeast into the warm water until dissolved.
• Stir in the sugar, salt, and oil.
• Add in 1 1/2 cups of flour. Mix the dough in the bowl and add additional flour, if needed, so the dough can be worked without it feeling too wet.
• Turn the dough out onto a board dusted with flour and quickly knead it for 3 minutes. Add more flour, a tablespoon at a time, if the dough remains too sticky to knead. It should feel smooth, and your hands should be clean once you're done kneading it.
• Place the dough into a greased bowl and flip it over so the dough top is also lightly greased.
• Cover with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm, draft-free place until it has doubled in size, or about 30 minutes.
• Punch the dough down to release the trapped air and give the crust a better texture. Roll it out and press it into a greased 12-inch pizza pan or into a well-oiled skillet pan. If using a pan press the dough up on the edges to form the crust.
• Add sauce and your desired toppings.
• Bake the pizza at 400 F for about 20 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. Serve and enjoy!
