Best 7 Thin Crust Boursin And Prosciutto Pizza Recipes

THIN PIZZA CRUST

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast and sugar in hot water.
• Let sit for 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile mix flour and salt.
• Pour yeast mixture over flour mixture and mix well with a heavy spoon.
• Turn onto floured surface and knead for 2 minutes.
• Spread into a 12-14" circle.
• (I do this directly onto a pizza stone with a marble rolling pin).
• If you roll it out on a counter top, transfer to a greased pizza pan, stretching to edges.
• Cover with sauce and desired topping.
• Bake at 500 degrees for 8-12 minutes or until edges are golden.

PROSCIUTTO MOZZARELLA PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Form dough (as directed in Basic Pizza Dough recipe) in a 9-by-13-inch rimmed baking sheet. Cover with mozzarella in an even layer. Sprinkle with pepper.
• Bake until cooked through, crust is golden on edges and bottom, and cheese is golden-brown in spots, about 20 minutes.
• Remove from oven. Immediately arrange prosciutto slices in even intervals across pie. Using a metal spatula, slide pie onto a cutting board. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt. Slice into 6 pieces and serve.

THIN-CRUST PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast and sugar in hot water in a bowl. Let stand until yeast forms a creamy foam, 5 to 8 minutes.
• Mix 1 3/4 cup flour and salt in a large bowl. Pour in yeast mixture; mix well until dough comes together.
• Transfer dough to a floured surface and knead until smooth, adding remaining 1/4 cup flour if dough is too sticky, about 2 minutes. Roll dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer to a greased pizza pan.

THIN CRUST PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Place flours, yeast and salt in a food processor; pulse until blended. Add honey. While processing, gradually add water until a ball forms. Continue processing 60 seconds to knead dough., Turn dough onto floured surface; shape into a ball. Cover; let rest 10 minutes. Divide dough into quarters. Use immediately or securely wrap and freeze for later use. Freeze option:Wrap each portion of dough in plastic wrap and place in resealable freezer bags; freeze up to 1 month. To use, thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Proceed as directed.

THIN CRUST PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Mix warm water and sugar together in a bowl; add yeast. Set aside until yeast mixture becomes foamy, about 10 minutes.
• Pour yeast mixture into a large bowl; add flour, olive oil, and salt. Knead dough for 6 to 8 minutes, adding more flour to keep dough from sticking to your hands if needed. Cover bowl and let sit for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Grease 2 pizza pans or baking sheets.
• Divide dough in half. Make each half into a ball shape and roll each into a flat, circular crust using a rolling pin.
• Place 1 piece dough over your hands with your knuckles turned upward directly underneath the center of the dough. Using your knuckles and backs of your hands, toss the dough into the air in a circular motion, spinning the dough. This thins the center of the dough and forms the padded edge of the pizza. When the edge of the dough is about 1/4-inch thick, place the dough onto the pan. Pizza diameter will be about 10 inches. Repeat with other piece of dough.

THIN-CRUST BOURSIN AND PROSCIUTTO PIZZA

Steps:

• Combine 1 cup bread flour, cake flour, undissolved yeast, sugar and salt in a bowl. Add water and mix until well blended, about 1 minute. Add additional flour, if needed, to form a soft dough.
• Knead on a floured surface, adding additional flour if necessary, until smooth and elastic, about 4 minutes. Place dough back in mixing bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Let rise at room temperature for 1 to 3 hours. (Tips to Kneading Dough: To knead the dough, add just enough flour to the dough and your hands to keep the dough from sticking. Flatten dough and fold it toward you. Using the heels of your hands, push the dough away with a rolling motion. Rotate dough a quarter turn and repeat the "fold, push and turn" steps. Keep kneading the dough until it is smooth and elastic. Use a little more flour if dough becomes too sticky, always working the flour into the ball of the dough.).
• Place a pizza stone on the lowest oven rack. Preheat oven to 550°F, or as high as your oven setting allows. If your oven has a convection setting, this is a good time to use it.
• Punch dough down. Divide into 8 equal pieces; keep covered.
• Roll each piece into a very thin (1/16-inch) circle on a floured surface. The shape doesn't have to be perfect! To achieve a very thin crust, try these tips: roll dough until very thin. Now, carefully pick up the thin dough and turn it over - roll again. Use a bench knife to help you get the dough off the surface for turning. Use as much flour as needed to make sure the dough is not sticky. Frequently flour rolling pin. Once the dough is rolled as thin as possible, it is ready to be baked.
• Place crust on a cornmeal-dusted pizza peel, flat baking sheet or the back side of a jelly roll pan or pizza pan. Make sure that the crust moves freely (doesn't stick to the pan). If it is sticking to the pan, gently lift dough and add a little more cornmeal. Use a fork to "dock" or make lots of little holes in the crust, about 1/2-inch apart. This prevents the crust from puffing up during baking.
• To bake, slide the crust off the pizza peel or baking sheet onto the preheated stone in the oven. Use a long-handled spatula to help transfer the crust if needed. Close the oven door as quickly as possible to keep the oven hot. Bake 2 to 5 minutes or until crust has browned patches.
• When done, remove crust from the oven with a spatula and place on wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining dough portions.
• Use a minimal amount of topping to keep the crust crisp and for ease in handling. Spread a thin layer of boursin cheese on each crust. Top with prosciutto and sprinkle with green onions. Return to oven for an additional 1 to 2 minutes. Most stones will accommodate baking 2 pizzas at once. Remove finished pizza from oven to cutting board. Cut into pieces and serve.
• Allow the oven to cool before removing the pizza stone and follow the manufacturer's directions for cleaning. Excess cornmeal tends to burn so be sure and use your exhaust fan.

THIN-CRUST CAPRESE PIZZA

Steps:

• Place a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet in the lower third of the oven and preheat to 450 degrees F. Mix the flour, baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Stir in 1/3 cup water and 2 tablespoons olive oil until a shaggy dough forms. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead into a smooth ball, 1 to 2 minutes. Wrap in plastic wrap and set aside for 15 minutes at room temperature.
• Meanwhile, toss the beans, giardiniera and brine, basil, parsley and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper; set aside. Slice the tomatoes, place on paper towels and sprinkle lightly with salt; set aside.
• Roll out the dough into a 12-inch round on a lightly oiled piece of parchment paper. Slide the parchment with the dough onto an inverted baking sheet. Rub 1 tablespoon olive oil and the garlic all over the dough. Sprinkle the parmesan on top. Slide onto the hot stone and bake until browned and crisp, about 8 minutes.
• Remove the crust from the oven and top with the mozzarella, tomatoes and basil leaves. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Serve with the bean salad.
