Thin Crusty Pizza Crust No Knead Bakers S Recipes

NO-KNEAD FOOD PROCESSOR THIN CRUST PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Pulse flour, yeast, and salt in food processor until blended.
• With motor running, add water and oil. Process for 1 minute, or until a ball forms.
• With floured hands, remove dough and form into a round ball. Place in a greased bowl, turning over to grease all around.
• Let rise for 10 minutes for thin crust.
• Stretch into pizza pan and top as desired.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes or until browned.

THIN-CRUST CHEESE PIZZA

Steps:

• Make the dough: Sprinkle the yeast over the hot water in a small bowl. Let stand until dissolved and slightly foamy, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the bread flour, all-purpose flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl and make a well in the center. Pour the yeast mixture into the well and add the olive oil. Stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
• Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, dust the dough with flour and knead, dusting with more flour as needed, until very smooth and elastic but still slightly tacky, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Transfer the dough to an oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours. Divide the dough into two 1-pound balls; wrap one ball in plastic and refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Bring to room temperature before using.
• Make the pizza sauce: Combine the tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, dried oregano, sugar and a pinch each of salt and pepper in a medium bowl; season with more salt and sugar if needed. (Makes about 1 1/2 cups.)
• Make the pizza: Preheat the oven to 500˚ F (use the convection setting, if available) with a pizza stone, baking steel or inverted large baking sheet in the lower third of the oven. Working on a lightly floured surface, cut the other ball of dough in half. Cup your hand around each piece and gently roll each into a small ball. Transfer 1 ball of dough to a lightly floured piece of parchment paper and roll into a thin 12-inch round with a rolling pin (keep the other ball of dough covered; this recipe makes 2 thin-crust pizzas). Top the dough with 1/4 cup pizza sauce and 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, going all the way to the edge.
• Transfer the pizza (on the parchment) to the hot stone and bake until the crust is set, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with 1 1/4 cups grated mozzarella, going all the way to the edge. Return the pizza to the stone, then slide out the parchment from under it. Bake until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes. Repeat to make another pizza.

NO-YEAST PIZZA CRUST

Steps:

• Mix flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl; stir in milk and olive oil until a soft dough forms. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead 10 times. Shape dough into a ball. Cover dough with an inverted bowl and let sit for 10 minutes.
• Roll dough into a 12-inch circle on a baking sheet.

THIN-CRUST PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Warm water to 110 degrees F (44 degrees C) in a bowl. Stir in yeast and sugar. Let stand until yeast forms a creamy foam, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Combine 1 3/4 cups flour and salt in a large bowl. Pour in yeast mixture; mix well until dough comes together.
• Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add remaining 1/4 cup flour if dough is too sticky.
• Roll dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a greased pizza pan.

EASY AS PIE 10-MINUTE NO-RISE THIN-CRUST PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Proof the yeast in the warm water with the honey or sugar for 8-10 minutes or until foamy.
• Add the remaining ingredients together and knead well, about 2-5 minutes.
• If the dough seems a little sticky, dust your hands with some flour and knead again.
• Grease a pizza pan or pie pan with cooking spray, and place the dough into it-- entire thing if a 12" pie, or half for an 8" or 9" pan.
• I prefer to bake these crusts ahead of time-- but if you want to eat it now, you can put the sauce, cheese, toppings, etc. on it and use the same baking instructions.
• Bake at 500F for 8-12 minutes or until the edges are nice and brown.
