Ingredients
- 2 cups All-purpose flour*
- ¾ teaspoon Baking powder
- ¾ teaspoon Salt
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- ⅔~¾ cup Water
For Toppings:
- ⅔ cup Pizza sauce
- 1½ cups Low-moisture mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2~3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
- ½~1 cup Chopped veggies, optional
Instructions
- 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 flour, 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. Place the disks in the bowl, cover and let rest in a warm place for 15 minutes.
- When ready to roll the pizza, take 2 large sheets of parchment and spray them with cooking spray. Place one of the dough discs between the greased parchment papers. Roll into a 8~10-inch round disc that is about ⅛-inch thick. It does not have to be a perfect circle.
- Peel off the top parchment and spread half of the tomato sauce on the crust. Sprinkle with cheese and the other toppings of choice. Transfer the pizza along with the bottom parchment onto a pizza peel. Carefully slide the pizza onto the hot stone or baking sheet. Bake until crust is crisp and golden brown and the cheese is bubbling, about 6~8 minutes.
- Transfer to a cutting board, cool 1~2 minutes before slicing. Repeat with the second pizza.

Notes
- Add up to 1 cup of whole-wheat flour to the dough to make it guilt free.
- You can also use spelt, buckwheat, teff or any other whole grain flour along with all-purpose flour. But I suggest to make the recipe with ¼ cup and depending on how you like the texture, slowly increase the flour quantity in your subsequent trials.
- Toppings can be just about anything. But I found that keeping the toppings light makes it easier to handle this thin crust pizza. So, do not weigh the pizza down - use only 1-2 toppings.
- Some thin crust pizza topping ideas:
- Broccoli, chopped
- Cooked corn
- Spinach
- Onion, thinly sliced
- Tomato, thinly sliced
- Basil
- Bell peppers, chopped
- Pizza dough can be made a day ahead of time and placed in a ziploc bag or airtight container in the fridge. When ready to bake, remove the dough and let it come to room temperature. Then proceed with the recipe as written.
- Keep a very close eye while baking. Since this is a no yeast thin crust pizza, it does not take too long to bake. You don't want to burn it!!
