Blogging Marathon# 69: Week 3/ Day 2
Theme: Flatbreads
Dish: Thin & Crispy Flatbread Pizza (without Yeast)
Recipe is from Food Network magazine. I had dog eared the page the minute I saw it. My kids love pizza , which is why I have quite a few different pizza recipes on the blog. Today’s thin crust pizza is probably the easiest of all. It needs no yeast and no rising. It’s like a giant roti (Indian flatbread), topped with cheese and then baked into a pizza.
I love thin crust pizza, thick and deep dish don’t appeal to me — they seem to be too doughy to me. I like to enjoy the cheese and the yummy toppings and not the bread like crust. So this thin and crisp pizza crust is just perfect for me.
My crust got a little too dark in spots, I guess I rolled it out too thin. So make sure that the crust is evenly rolled out to about 1/8 inch. Also all ovens are different, so start checking the pizza after about 8 minutes.

Ingredients
For Toppings:

- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Put a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet on the lowest rack.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flours, baking powder and salt. Add olive oil and water to make a shaggy, sticky dough.
- Turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead into a smooth and elastic ball, about 2~3 minutes.
- Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a flat disk. Wrap each disk in plastic wrap and let rest in a warm place for 15 minutes.
- Take 2 large sheets of parchment and spray them with cooking spray. Place one dough disc between the parchment, oiled-sides in; and roll into a 12~14-inch round about 1/8 inch thick.
- Remove the top parchment and transfer the dough with the bottom parchment onto the pizza peel.
- Spread half of the tomato sauce on the crust and top with the other toppings. Slide the pizza onto the hot stone or baking sheet.
- Bake until crust is crisp and golden brown and the cheese is bubbling, about 10~12 minutes.
- Transfer to a cutting board and sprinkle with basil leaves. Cool 1~2 minutes before slicing. Repeat with the second pizza.
You are surely making me hungry with all these drool worthy snaps. Thin crust and the cheese filled topping on it looks absolutely divine..
