Recipe Introduction

Thin crust lovers you are in for a treat! For exceptional pizza, go to your local Home Depot or Lowes store and buy unglazed quarry tiles. They are very inexpensive. Position your oven rack as low as it will go in your oven. Line oven rack with unglazed quarry tiles (I use about 6 in my oven). Preheat oven at 500° for about 1/2 hour.

List of Ingredients

3/4 cup warm water
1/2 tsp. salt
1 3/4 cup flour (might need an additional 2TB)
1 tsp. yeast
1/4 tsp. sugar


Recipe

Add ingredients to your bread machine according to manufacturer directions. Set for dough or pizza dough. My Breadman Ultimate has 2 dough settings.. one for dough and one for pizza dough. Add additional flour if needed while machine is mixing if dough seems too sticky.

When machine signals that dough is done, remove from machine to lightly floured board or counter top.

Sprinkle pizza pan with a little cornmeal.

Stretch dough into circle or roll into circle to fit your pizza pan and put in pan that you've sprinkled with cornmeal.

Top pizza with desired toppings.. (pizza sauce, pepperoni,shredded mozzerella cheese, mushrooms, onions, green pepper, sausage).. Use you imagination.

Put pan of pizza in preheated oven on top of quarry tiles. Bake for 5 minutes. Then grab pan and carefully shake pizza off of pizza pan onto hot quarry tiles. This will help to crisp up the bottom crust.
Bake for additional 5-7 minutes or until pizza is done.
Slide pizza back onto pizza pan for easy removal from oven.
Slice into pie wedges and enjoy!
