How to make thin pizza crust at home

My family and I don’t eat pizza that often but when we do we are quite picky. We love a thin crust and we make a big deal about certain topping ingredients. We also enjoy a homemade pizza better. It tastes less “commercial” and gives us the opportunity to eat our pizza with our hands. In our own little “culture” God did not intend pizza to be eaten with forks and knifes. 

I love that this crust recipe doesn’t need lots of time to make, it comes together in just a few minutes and doesn’t need time to rise so our pizza can be ready in no time, whenever we feel like serving one. And the fact that we get to use our favorite ingredients is a great bonus. 

We prefer a thin crust because we love crunchy food, the crunchiest the better. The way we make it is in fact super thin and super crunchy.

There will be a couple of pizza recipes coming soon, using this thin crust recipe so be sure to come back and see how they turned out.
