If you have a stand mixer this recipe is about as easy as they come simply pop all the ingredients in and prepared to be wowed by what comes out. This pizza is best when rolled thin and cooked until the edges are perfectly crisp. Ready for just about any toppings and with a very short rise time it’s great for a slow Friday night. You can honestly ignore the rise time if you’re in a rush and you roll it out thin enough it will puff while you’re putting toppings on and when cooking but for a little extra softness waiting the 30 minutes for it to rise will give it a pillow-y texture. This recipe easily doubles for a crowd.
Thin Crust Pizza
Mix everything but the water and oil in the bowl of the food processor or a stand mixer
Add the water (make sure it's heated but not too hot), and process until the ingredients are all combined.
Now add the oil in a thin stream and process until the oil is evenly mixed into the dough.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead for a minute until it’s smooth and even and let rest for at least 2 hours. You can place this dough in the refrigerator overnight as well in a sealed bag.
To cook: Heat oven to 215°C degrees with a pizza stone inside. Divide the dough into 2 parts and roll each of the balls out to thin circles on a lightly floured surface (or on baking paper for extra ease).
Top your pizzas with tomato sauce, mozzarella, and any other toppings.
Using a pizza peel slide the pizza onto the heated pizza stone in the oven. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until browned.
