I Want Crispy Pizza Dough Recipes

I WANT CRISPY PIZZA DOUGH!

Steps:

• Grease a cookie sheet or baking pan with cooking spray or oil.
• With a very fine pinch, lightly dust the greased surface with some flour or cornmeal for easy extraction.
• Stretch out the pizza dough into the pan or cookie sheet according to how much you're making, and poke some holes in it with a fork.
• Bake at 400F for 5-8 minutes depending on the size. Me, I make mostly 8" crusts or small rectangles on the cookie sheet so I only need about 5-6 minutes.
• Pull the pan/sheet out of the oven but don't take the dough off. Add your sauce, cheese, toppings, etc.
• Put it back in to bake for about 10-20 minutes depending on size and amount of toppings. Just until thoroughly cooked.
• Turn the broiler on and let it broil for 3-8 minutes depending on pizza size.
• Voila, you have a thoroughly cooked pizza with a nice crispy crust that isn't soggy on the bottom!
