Ingredients
- 1 lb homemade pizza dough (see Homemade Pizza Dough)
- 2–3 tablespoons pizza sauce
- Light toppings of choice
Instructions
- Let the dough warm at room temperature for 60–90 minutes.
- Preheat a pizza steel or stone at 500–550°F.
- Roll the dough to about ⅛ inch thick or thinner, then dock it.
- Add 2–3 tablespoons of sauce and very light toppings.
- Bake for 6–9 minutes.
Notes
- The thin crust and light topping load are the point: too much sauce or topping will soften the crisp base.
- Optional: par-bake the crust for 2–3 minutes before topping.
- Optional: finish the pizza directly on the oven rack for 1–2 minutes.
