Thin Crust Pizza


This is an easy one to make. You don't need much ingredient except what u may already have in your fridge. Preparation time would only take about 30 min and about 12 to 15 min to cook. Thin crust pizza bases are perfect for pizza those who prefer to taste more of the sauce, cheese and other toppings and don't want to be filled up too quickly. I just finished wipe off half the pan (sheesh!) for my "buka puasa" .


I'm going to give here the recipe for the crust. The ingredients:

1 envelope of dry yeast (About 1 tablespoon)
1/4 teaspoon of sugar
3/4 cup of lukewarm water
1 3/4 cups of flour
1/2 teaspoon of salt


As for the topping, u can't go wrong with the topping. Just throw in whatever you like, really. But for a start, here's a simple one.

1/2 cup of tomato paste (or ketchup)
1/2 cup of sliced mushroom
1 small tomato (sliced)
1/2 cup of bellpepper (sliced)
2 slices of cheddar cheese (cut into smaller pieces)
1/2 cup of mozarella cheese (grated)



  1. Combine dry yeast, sugar and water. Mix a little and let sit for 6-8 minutes.
  2. Combine flour with salt in a bowl.
  3. Pour the water combination into the bowl and mix until ready to knead
  4. Prepare a lightly spinkled surface with flour. knead the dough for around 2-3 minutes. Lightly sprinkle more flour if the mixture is a little sticky.
  5. Roll out by hand for a 12'' base. (if u don't have a pizza pan, any pan will do. I made a square pizza in a cookies baking sheet)
  6. Place in the dough in the pan.
  7. Spread the tomato sauce or ketchup, sprinkle the rest of the ingredient and top with the cheese.
  8. Cook in a pre-heated over (500F) for 12-15 minutes
  9. Remove from oven, slice and voila!
