Steps:
- In a heavy-duty stand mixer (e.g., KitchenAid) fitted with dough hook, add the water, oil, yeast, salt, and sugar. Mix thoroughly until yeast has fully dissolved. Add flour and mix on low speed until all of the flour and water have mixed and a stiff dough ball forms, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stop mixing as soon as the dough ball forms as this type of dough should not be kneaded.
- Place the dough ball into a large bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise for 24 hours in the refrigerator before using.
- Preheat your oven to 500 °F about one hour before you plan to bake the pizza.
- Turn the dough out onto a large surface and dust with flour. Using a heavy rolling pin (or dough sheeter), roll the dough out very thin to form a 24-inch or larger circle. If you're using a cutter pizza pan (recommended), dust the pan lightly with flour, place the dough in the pan and dock. Use the rolling pin to trim off the excess dough drooping over the sides of the pan. If you wish to cook the pizza directly on a pizza stone (not using a pan), then place the dough on a dusted pizza-peel, dock, and fold the edge over 1-inch all the way around and pinch it up to form a raised lip or rim.
- Optionally, pre-cook the crust for 4 minutes before adding any sauce or toppings. Remove the crust from the oven and pop any large air pockets that may have formed. Add the sauce, shredded mozzarella cheese, and your favorite toppings. Continue baking, on the lowest oven rack, rotating the pan half way through so that it cooks evenly, until crust is sufficiently browned and crisp, about 10 to 15 minutes. Remove the pizza from the oven and slide pizza out of cooking pan onto a large wire cooling rack or cutting board. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before transferring to a serving pan. This step allows the crust to stay crisp while it cools, otherwise the trapped steam will soften the crust.

PIZZA CRACKERS
Kids love making these simple pizza crackers. I like to use pizza sauce from a squeeze bottle to make it easier for them. Just make sure an adult is there to put the crackers in the oven. -Tonya Sanders, Geneva, Iowa

Tips:
- Use a variety of crackers for different flavor and texture combinations. For example, use Ritz crackers for a classic cracker pizza, or try Triscuit crackers for a more hearty option.
- Don't overload the crackers with toppings. Too much toppings can make the crackers soggy and difficult to eat.
- Use a microwave-safe plate or baking sheet to cook the cracker pizzas. A regular plate or baking sheet may not be able to withstand the heat of the microwave and could crack or melt.
- Microwave the cracker pizzas for just a few minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Overcooking can make the crackers tough and chewy.
- Serve the cracker pizzas immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Conclusion:
Microwave cracker pizzas are a quick and easy snack or meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a variety of toppings to choose from, there's a cracker pizza for everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give microwave cracker pizzas a try!
