Super Thin Pizza Dough - yeast

Method

• Mix sugar & warm water, (I use a warm glass measuring cup) add yeast, stir, wait 10 minutes til a foam forms on top.
• Pour into large warm bowl, (rinse outside of bowl with warm water first).
• Add 1 1/2 cups of the flour, salt, and olive oil.
• Stir with wooden spoon until smooth and still a bit sticky.
• (Add flour only as needed to get a smooth dough that is still a bit sticky.)
• Put some flour on hands and spread rest on a wooden cutting board.
• Put dough on board and knead.
• I didn't know how to knead bread so I went to u-tube, the proper way is to use the heel of your hand to push the dough forward, then fold it over, rotate it a 1/4 turn and repeat.
• It also says to do this as quickly as possible, and DO NOT over knead it.
• 5 - 8 minutes is the most it ever takes.
• You will need to add flour, from the board, every so often because the dough is still a bit sticky, but again only as needed.
• You want to achive a moderately stiff dough, that is smooth and elastic.
• Put dough in a warm, greased bowl, cover with warm towel,and let rise 30 minutes.
• In the winter I put the whole bowl in my sink with some warm water because the air is chilly.
• After 30 minutes, remove the dough, divide it in half.
• Grease a pizza pan, and sprinkle with corn meal.
• Smooth the 1/2 dough ball onto your greased pizza pan, be patient you have to spread it really thin!
• , add sauce, mozzerella and toppings of your choice.
• Bake at 450 degrees 10 - 15 minutes.
• I actually use a Pizzaz pizza cooker and it works great.
• If you don't make 2 pizzas you can freeze the other in a ziploc bag.
• Be sure to grease it first, to keep it from sticking to the bag.
• It thaws quickly, with an hour or so.
