Pizza (Thin Crust Dough)

Ingredients :

1 sachet dry yeast
1/4 teaspoon sugar
3/4 cup lukewarm water
1 3/4 cups all−purpose or bread flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
Tomato pizza topping (puree)
Mozzarella cheese (and some cheddar cheese, if desired)

Method :

Stir yeast and sugar into water and leave for about 8 minutes.
In a bowl (or food processor) mix the flour and salt.
After the yeast has been standing for about 8 minutes, add the yeast mixture to the flour. If using food processor, continue mixing until dough forms a ball, should take about 10−20 seconds. If mixing by hand, mix with a sturdy spoon until ready to knead.

On a floured surface turn out the dough and knead for about 2 minutes.
If dough is a little sticky, dust your fingers and counter with flour.
Roll out by hand to fit into a 30cm-sized pizza and place in a lightly oiled pizza pan, using your fingertips to press up to the edge and forming a shallow lip.

Add tomato pizza spread, cheese, and top with desired ingredients (green peppers, olives, chopped mushrooms, bacon, pepperoni, anchovies etc.).
Bake at 260C in pre−heated oven for 8−12 minutes, the edges will turn a nice golden brown when done and the dough will be firm and crispy.
