Thin Crust Pizza Dough
Yield: 4
Materials
- 1 1/3 cup water
- 1 1/2 tsp instant yeast
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 3 cups bread flour
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1 1/4 tsp. salt
Instructions
- Warm the water to 110°F and stir in the instant yeast and sugar. Let it sit for 5 minutes or until frothy. If there's no froth, it indicates the yeast is inactive
- In a Kitchen Aid Machine, combine the bread flour, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Knead with the dough hook attachment until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms, about 5 minutes.
- Drizzle a little olive oil into the bowl, then place the pizza dough in it, covering it with plastic wrap or a towel. Put the bowl in the oven with the light on to facilitate the perfect rise, using the gentle heat from the light. About 90 minutes.
- After the first rise, divide the dough into 4 balls and cover them with a towel, allowing them to rise again for about 30 minutes. Optionally, for a denser pizza dough, you can add an additional 1/4 teaspoon of yeast depending on taste and recipe requirements.
- Before using the dough, gently deflate it and let it rest for another 15 minutes. You can also refrigerate the dough in an oiled plastic bag for up to two days.
