Makes a typical thin crust pizza dough.
Yield: 1 pizza
Source: Woodlandgardner "Ulrich"
1/2 cup water
1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 teaspoon of brown sugar
1 1/4 cup unbleached flour (I use King Arthur)
1/2 teaspoon salt
(Optional additions)
Chia seeds
flax seeds
Wheat germ
Poppy seeds
Dried herbs
Combine water, sugar, yeast and let sit 5 minutes until dissolved.
Then add flour, salt, optional additions to yeast mixture and knead 3-4 minutes or until everything well mixed.
Place dough in bowl, cover with sticky wrap, and let rest 2-4 hours and/or up to 4 days in fridge.
I bake my pizza crust at 375F on hearth stone for at least 20 minutes to get a crunchy bottom.
