Pizza Hut Paper Thin Crust Pizza
Since many of you are regulars to this board and have requested this, I have done a lot of research and this is what I have come up with. The crust has to be made ahead of time, and is easily enough for at least two 16-inch pizzas, or more depending on how thin you roll the dough. (or press out on pan). I used 16 inch air bake pans for mine.
Ingredients
- 2 cups water (105 degrees F)
- 1/2 teaspoon yeast (proofed in water)
- 4 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil, + oil for pans
- 1 1/2 cups cake flour
- 2 teaspoons salt
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients in a mixer and knead for 10 minutes. Place in a large bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to ferment as long as possible (12 to 24 hours). Punch down dough now and then when you get the chance.
- Heat oven to 550 degrees F.
- Roll the dough as thin as desired. (roll, flour and flip, until you end up with a shape equal to 90% the size of your pan, as it will stretch when you transfer the dough. (Make sure you oil your pan.)
- For regular pizza, add your toppings and bake for 10 minutes.
- However, since this particular recipe was meant for light toppings, you'll need to oil the crust, then prick it with a fork and pre-bake for 3 minutes.
- Now remove from oven, add your favorite toppings and return to oven for 10 to 15 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and outer edge of crust is a light golden brown.
