Thin Crust Pizza & Soup Or Salad Recipe

Pizza Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Dough

   In a bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until foamy. Stir in olive oil and salt. Gradually add flour until a dough forms.

2. 2

   Knead and Rise

   Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Place in a greased bowl, cover, and let rise in a warm area for 1 hour.

3. 3

   Preheat Oven

   Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

4. 4

   Roll Out Dough

   Once risen, punch down the dough and roll it out into a thin circle, about 12 inches in diameter.

5. 5

   Add Sauce and Toppings

   Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a greased pizza stone or baking sheet. Spread pizza sauce evenly on top, followed by shredded mozzarella and your choice of toppings.

6. 6

   Bake

   Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and cheese is bubbly.

7. 7

   Slice and Serve

   Remove from oven, let cool slightly, slice, and serve with your choice of soup or side salad.
