Super Thin Crust Pizza Dough

1/2 tsp Yeast
1/2 tsp Extra-Virgin Olive Oil
10 oz (about 2 c) "00" flour (or all purpose if you can't find pizza flour)
1 tbsp Salt
2/3 c Cold Water

Add yeast, oil and water to bowl of stand mixer, and mix on the lowest speed using the dough hook for 2 minutes.

Add flour, 1/2 c at a time until thoroughly mixed, about 5 minutes.

Cover and let rise for 30 minutes.

Add salt and mix again on low for 5 minutes.

Remove dough to floured surface and cut in half.

Roll each half into a ball and place on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise for 2 hours (or longer if you have the time).

Stretch one ball of dough into a 12" circle by flattening gently with your hands, then, holding one end, let gravity pull down the other side. Do this all the way around.

Drape the dough over your fisted knuckles and gently stretch.

Add toppings and bake at 500 degrees for 30 minutes or until crispy.
