I did a little experiment to see whether the pizza crust that takes a really long time to make tasted any better than the pizza crust recipe that used less ingredients and less time.

Today, I share my findings with you.

Easy Pizza Dough Recipe Thin Crust Recipe
Ingredients Required

  • 1 cup of warm water (105F)
  • 3 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons of honey
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • 1 teaspoon of yeast
Ingredients Required

  • 1 envelope of dry yeast
  • 1/4 teaspoon of sugar
  • 3/4 cup of lukewarm water
  • 1 3/4 cups of unbleached plain flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
wait time after combining water, salt, honey, and yeast: 10 minutes wait time after combining sugar, yeast, and water: 6 to 8 minutes
wait time after kneading: 2 hours (punch down after 1 hour, let rise another hour) wait time after kneading: none! woo!
bake time: 20 to 25 minutes bake time: 8 to 12 minutes
Total time from start to table: about 3 hours total Total time from start to table: about 30 minutes total

Taste test:

The “thin crust” wasn’t actually that much thinner than the “easy pizza crust”.

In the end, the “thin crust” tasted better and was softer/easier to chew.

The winner and champion: THIN CRUST, for ease of preparation, and tastiness! (click the link for the complete recipe)!

Woohoo!
