So, I had a craving for thin crust pizza, and they don't have any in the city I live in. I'm experimenting with different recipes. I made this in my Kitchen Aid mixer. I like to make it the night before I want pizza, and let it rise over night. It will rise slowly.

approx. 2 cups flour
approx. 1/2 cup warm water
2 tablespoons yeast
2 tablespoons honey, sometimes I like to use maple syrup
or if using sugar, use about 1 tablespoon of sugar
1/3 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
pizza sauce - your own or store bought

1. Add all the dry ingredients and the olive oil to the mixer bowl.
2. in a separate coffee cup, add about 1/4 cup of water, the yeast, and honey.
3. wait about 5 minutes, and the yeast should be a little bubbly.
4. turn on the mixer on the lowest setting, and using a spoon, first add the yeast/water mixture, and then add the regular water.
5. scrape the sides of the bowl every now and then.
6. in about 5 minutes, a ball of dough should form. stop adding water once the dough forms. that's when you know there's enough water in the dough.
7. cover the dough, and let it rise overnight. If you're making pizza for the impatient , let it rise about an hour or so, until it doubles.
8. in the morning, punch it down, form a ball, put the seam side down, and let it rise again until it doubles. about an hour or so. I usually punch it down, form the ball, and then run errands. depending on the warmth of your kitchen, this will take shorter or longer to double.
9. in order to make thin crust pizza, add flour to the counter, and roll the pizza dough until it's about an 1/8" thick.
10. when you add the pizza sauce, make sure to add a thin layer all the way to the edges. otherwise the pizza will burn.
11. add toppings

p.s. I'll add a recipe for pizza sauce in a different posting
