A quick and easy thin crust pizza dough recipe that comes together in about five minutes with a short resting time, producing a crisp, golden crust perfect for all your favorite toppings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (320g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup (240ml) warm water (about 110°F / 43°C)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 ½ cups (320g) of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon instant yeast, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon salt. Stir to blend evenly.
  2. Pour in 1 cup (240ml) of warm water (about 110°F / 43°C) and 2 tablespoons olive oil. Stir with a wooden spoon or dough whisk until a shaggy dough forms.
  3. Lightly flour your work surface and transfer the dough onto it. Knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic, adding a bit more flour if sticky but keeping the dough soft.
  4. Shape the dough into a ball and place it back in the bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel. Let it rest at room temperature for 20-30 minutes.
  5. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it on the middle rack to heat.
  6. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and roll or stretch it into a thin, even circle or rectangle about 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick, keeping edges slightly thicker if desired.
  7. Place the rolled dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or a pizza peel dusted with cornmeal if using a stone. Add your favorite toppings.
  8. Bake the pizza for 10-12 minutes until the crust is golden and crisp and the cheese bubbles and browns slightly.
  9. Remove from oven, let cool for a couple of minutes, then slice and serve hot.

Notes

If dough resists rolling, let it rest another 5-10 minutes to relax gluten. Preheat oven and baking surface thoroughly for best crispness. Avoid overloading toppings to keep crust crisp. Dough can be refrigerated up to 24 hours or frozen up to 3 months.
