Homemade Thin Crust Pizza Recipe
This Homemade Thin Crust Pizza Recipe yields a crisp, thin base made from a blend of 00 flour and semolina flour. The dough is fermented to develop texture and flavor, then stretched and baked on a preheated pizza stone at high heat. Topped with pizza sauce, mozzarella cheese, and fresh herbs like basil and oregano, the result is a textured yet tender crust with classic pizza flavors.

Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cup water 115° to 118°, warm
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons active yeast
- 3 1/3 cup 00 flour packed
- 1 cup semolina flour packed
- 1/4 teaspoon salt sea salt
- pizza sauce
- mozzarella cheese shredded
- mozzarella cheese sliced
- basil fresh leaves
- oregano dry
Instructions
- Add a pizza stone to your oven and preheat to 500°.
- Add the water, sugar, and yeast to the bowl of a stand mixer and whisk until completely combined, and let sit for 5-7 minutes until a raft forms on top.
- Next, add the flour, semolina, and salt to the bowl and knead the dough with the hook attachment on low to medium speed for 10 minutes.
- Cover the dough and keep it in a warm place for 45 minutes or until doubled in size.
- Punch the dough down and transfer to a clean surface and divide into 3 dough balls.
- Lightly knead for 1 minute and form into a ball. Cover with a towel and let sit for 15 minutes.
- When ready to cook, stretch out a dough ball until it is about 12” to 15” in diameter. Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza peel or cutting board dusted with cornmeal.
- Add on desired toppings and slide onto the preheated pizza stone and bake in the oven at 500° for 7 to 10 minutes. After 3-4 minutes rotated the pizza 180°.

Notes
- Dough can be prepared up to one day in advance and refrigerated to develop flavor.
- To store dough, cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days or freeze for 1 month; thaw in refrigerator before use.
- Reheat cooked pizza on a preheated pizza stone at 350°F for 2 to 4 minutes to restore crispness.
- If 00 flour is not available, substitute with bread flour or all-purpose flour (reduce water by 5% for all-purpose).
- Dough can be mixed and kneaded by hand following the same yeast activation steps.
- Preheat the pizza stone for about 30 minutes for best results.
