How to make homemade thin crust pizza:
- Sift the two types of flour with the salt in a bowl large enough. When you have the dry ones well mixed, form a volcano with a hole in the center.
- Apart, we mix the yeast with the warm water. When the yeast dissolves, add the oil, sugar and stir everything well. Add this mixture on the flour volcano, in the hole.
- Tip: It is very important that the water is warm but not boiling or very hot
- We are kneading with our hands until we integrate everything and form a ball. So, she sprinkles a flat surface with a little flour and starts working the pizza dough there.
- The idea is to knead everything that is necessary until you get elastic dough, if you see that it is still very sticky you can add a little more flour, but be careful not to overdo it.
- Place the ball of dough back in the bowl and cover the bowl with a kitchen towel. Then let it rest for about 90 minutes until the dough doubles in size. You can leave it in the turned off oven or the microwave; in any case it must be a cool place free of drafts.
- After this first rest time, we put our pizza dough back on the work counter and work to remove the excess air. To do this, crush the ball with your knuckles.
- After carrying out this process, we put it back in a bowl, cover it and leave it to rest for another 15 minutes.
- Now to finish you only have to stretch the very thin homemade pizza dough and place it on a tray lined with waxed paper. Remember to prick the surface of the dough with a fork to prevent it from rising too much during cooking.
