Flat Bread Pizza

Delicious! We tried making pizza with flat bread for the first time last night. I think we will stick to this recipe for pizza making from now on. The crust is the perfect combination of crispy and moist. The interesting part is that this recipe is identical to my Ultimate Pizza Dough recipe, the only difference being that the bread is not kneaded, does not require as much rise time, and is SO much quicker. I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

Pictured below is our pizza from last night: a light layer of pizza sauce, fresh basil (straight out of our garden), tomatoes (our garden isn't yet producing these), and fresh mozzerella cheese.

Ingredients:
1 C warm water
1 package instant dry yeast
2 T sugar
2 T olive oil
1/2 tsp salt
2 1/2 -3 C flour
desired pizza toppings

Directions:
1. Mix warm water and yeast until frothy.
2. Allow to sit 5 minutes.
3. Add in sugar, salt, and oil.
4. Stir in flour, 1/2 C at a time. DO NOT KNEAD.
5. Cover bowl and allow to rest for 10 minutes.
6. Break dough into two equal portions.
7. Sprinkle cornmeal on countertop.
8. On counter, roll each portion into a 12" pizza.
9. Transfer to baking stone and brush with olive oil.
10. Bake at 425 F for 5 minutes.
