Description
Thin and crispy, no-rise, cracker crust. Don’t look, there’s butter in the crust.
Ingredients
- 4 tbsp. unsalted butter
- 1/2 c. +1 tbsp. water
- 2 c. unbleached all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp. heaping kosher salt
- 1 tsp. SAF instant yeast*
Instructions
- Into a small saucepan, melt butter. Stir in water. Set aside.
- Into a large bowl, stir together flour, salt, and yeast. (If using something other than instant yeast, see note below.) Add butter mixture to flour mixture and stir together until evenly combined. If your bowl is large enough, knead for 1-2 minutes in the bowl or on a lightly floured work surface. Cut in half and form into two dough balls. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 500° for about 30 minutes to get it nice and hot. Prep toppings and sauce. (Sauce recipes: tomato, pesto)
- On a lightly floured surface, roll dough out until it’s 1/8″ thick. If crust sticks in any parts, add a bit more flour. Place crust directly on a baking sheet (skip the parchment paper). Using a fork, prick the center of the crust a couple times to keep the middle from puffing. Place in oven and partially bake for 4-5 minutes.
- Remove and add a thin layer of sauce and toppings. Bake for an additional 4-5 minutes. Cut and serve with a can of Seven Daughters Moscato. A can!
Notes
I prefer SAF instant yeast compared to rapid rise, what you can typically find in the grocery store. It’s an order from Amazon, but it lasts a very long time in your fridge. It’s also highly dependable. No heat activation required. Just add it into the mixture! If using rapid rise yeast, be sure to activate the yeast first in the warm water. The water should be warm to touch (110°), not hot. Yeast will proof and expand on the surface of the water. Add to butter mixture and continue with recipe as stated.
Made this a while ago, then just now my husband was like “what was that thin crispy recipe we tried? let’s have that for dinner!”…so I’d say it’s a keeper!
Wine cans? What!?!? This is amazing! And pizza FTW.
Love the written style of the post as much as the pizza slash wine combo. Also, your four pack girl comment gave me the lulz.
SO excited to see a good-quality summer sipper in a can! Also thin and crispy is how pizza can and should be, especially when the weather is warm and lovely. Cheers!
It’s such a smart idea! I’ve never been a beer drinker. So glad I can crack a cold one now 🙂
I love doing picnics by the lake here so this would be absolutely perfect! Also, I’m a thin and crispy crust girl ALL the way too 🙂 xo
Oh yes! So fun. I may have to steal your idea!
I WANT ALL OF THIS!!!!! This wine in a can sounds like the bomb. I wonder if they sell it in my neck of the woods? I’ll keep an eye out.
Here’s a link to the wine checker. You can even check by product. It’s brand spanking new so if it’s not there yet, it may be coming soon!
Thanks for this!! Sadly they don’t sell any of their wines anywhere near me. Maybe one day!
The first photo looks like the MOST inviting summer soirée…I want in! Considering how much I love your other pizza dough, I will definitely be giving this one a try. Also, wine in a can?! Holy moly what will they think of next!
If we lived closer, you’d be right here! I should have mentioned, the other crust is still my main squeeze. This is my special occasion/last minute crust. Mostly because of the butter. Ah!
