Submitted by lauralie41

"This is an updated version of my adopted recipe. The review it had stated the pizza dough did not cook thru after toppings were added. This recipe and directions will help that problem."

This makes a very nice thin, crispy crust. I had never pre-baked a pizza crust before and I think that helps make it crispier, which we like. Next time I will prick it with a fork a few times first, since mine puffed up with air pockets while baking, but while it was cooling, they flattened out. I am also going to try it with whole-wheat flour and some dried herbs mixed in. I was a bit worried about the yeast amount. I used 2 1/2 TEASPOONS, not ounces, and it worked fine. Made for tag game at kittencalskitchen.com

I used 2 tablespoons instead of the 2.5 oz of yeast. I also combined water, yeast and 1 tsp of maple syrup and let rest for 10 mins. Then added in the rest of the dry ingredients.

Im currently in the process of making it, and had to add a bit more water because it seemed very dry. Don't you normally add sugar to the mix to help the dough rise?

I used this recipe to make a pizza calzone/braid type thing. It turned out perfect! Little alterations were: -2.5 tbls of yeast instead of 2.5 oz -skipped the first baking before toppings -added some basil and garlic powder -cook time 20 minutes. My kid who basically always refuses to eat dinner had seconds and thirds, plus ate some leftovers the following day.

Too much yeast not enough water. Another thing don’t use Bob’s Red Mill all purpose flour for this recipe it’s a crumbly dry mess.
