Crispy Pizza Crust Recipe

This thin and crispy pizza crust recipe works so well due to the higher baking temperatures and the use of a minimal amount of pizza sauce.

1 cup all purpose flour
1 tbsp sugar
2 tsp active dry yeast
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 cup (4 ounces) water, warmed

Step #1:

Place your pizza stone in the oven. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Add all dry ingredients together in a bowl. Mix well.

Step#2:

Stir warmed water into dry ingredients and mix togehter until a dough is formed.

Step #3:

Cover the top of the bowl with a towel, or you can use plastic wrap also. Place the bowl somewhere warm, where the dough can rise to twice it's original size.

Step #4:

After dough has risen, roll it out very thinly, about 1/3 inch thick. Transfer the dough to a wooden pizza peel, and add a small amount of sauce. Add other toppings and transfer to the hot pizza stone in the oven. Cook at 450 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes. Lift the bottom of the crust up with a metal spatuala and check to see if the crust is brown and crispy. When you are satisfied with the results, remove from the hot oven and allow the pizza to cool for five minutes before slicing.
