Best crispy crust pizza ever image

This crust is made with Indian Roti flour for perfect crispiness every time. My cousin works at Pizza Hut and he still thinks my pizza's are the best! Prep time includes time for the dough to rise, don't worry, you only work for about 8 minutes!

Provided by Trisha

Categories     Grains

Time 1h50m

Yield 16 slices

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 tablespoon dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup hot water (to the touch)
3 cups roti flour
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pinch salt
1/4 cup oregano (optional)
1 can pizza sauce
sliced mushrooms (grate with your cheese grater for extra flavor)
sun-dried tomato (dried, not in oil)
artichoke heart
turkey pepperoni
grated mozzarella cheese

Steps:

  • Put first three ingredients in a bowl.
  • My big stainless steel bowl works the best, because it conducts the heat from the water but doesn't cool down the yeast.
  • Let stand for 10 minutes.
  • Mix the rest of the ingredients in with the foamy yeast mixture.
  • I use Indian Roti flour for crispy crusts, perfect every time, but whole wheat or white flour works too.
  • Cover the bowl and stand somewhere warm for an hour to rise.
  • Divide dough in half and roll flat.
  • I usually add a small handfull of flour when I do this or the dough tends to be sticky.
  • Spray your pizza pans with Pam and toss on the dough.
  • Spread half a can of pizza sauce on each crust, then add your toppings.
  • My pizza's are famous for the toppings listed above (don't forget to put your tomatoes in boiling water for about five minutes before you add to pizza).
  • Bake both pizza's at 350 F for about half an hour.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For a crispy crust, use a combination of bread flour and all-purpose flour. Bread flour has a higher protein content, which helps the dough develop more gluten. Gluten is what gives pizza crust its chewiness and structure.
  • Use cold water when making the dough. Cold water helps slow down the yeast activity, which results in a more flavorful crust.
  • Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes. Kneading helps develop the gluten in the dough, which makes it more elastic and less likely to tear.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place for at least 1 hour. This gives the yeast time to ferment and produce gas, which will make the crust light and airy.
  • Preheat your oven to the highest temperature possible before baking the pizza. This will help create a crispy crust.
  • Use a pizza stone or baking sheet to bake the pizza. A pizza stone will help conduct heat evenly and create a crispy crust. If you don't have a pizza stone, you can use a baking sheet, but you may need to bake the pizza for a few minutes longer.
  • Top the pizza with your favorite toppings and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
