Dough Preparation

Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Mix well using a whisk or fork to ensure even distribution of the salt.

Add Wet Ingredients
Create a well in the center of the dry mixture and pour in the water and olive oil. Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until a dough starts to form.

Knead the Dough
Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, sprinkle a bit more flour as needed.

Rest the Dough
Place the kneaded dough in a bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rest for 30 minutes at room temperature.
Topping Preparation

Prepare Cheese and Basil
Grate the mozzarella cheese and set aside. Rinse the basil leaves, pat them dry with a paper towel, and tear them into smaller pieces.
Assembly and Cooking
- 6
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure it's hot enough for a crisp crust.

Roll Out the Dough
After resting, divide the dough into two equal portions. On a floured surface, roll each portion into a thin circle (about 1/8 inch thick).

Add Toppings
Place the rolled dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the dough, then add the torn basil leaves. Finish with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and drizzle with olive oil.

Bake
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Serve
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm on a platter and enjoy your White Thin Straight!
