   Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2          teaspoons  instant yeast
   2          teaspoons  sugar
   1 1/4      teaspoons  salt
   1         tablespoon  Pizza Dough Flavor -- optional, but tasty
   1         tablespoon  nonfat dry milk -- or King Arthur Easy-Roll 
Dough Improver or Baker's Special Dry Milk
   3               cups  Italian-Style Flour -- (312g) Note*
      3/4           cup  lukewarm water -- (170g)
   2        tablespoons  olive oil -- (25g)

This pizza dough is easy to stretch, unlike some that fight and snap 
back as you try to roll them into a circle. The secret? Italian 00 
flour, a lower-protein, mellow flour perfect for thin-crust pizza, 
feather-light grissini, and other low-rising yeast breads.

Note*: Substitute King Arthur White Whole Wheat Flour for half of the 
Italian flour, if desired. Italian flour is type "00", 8.5% protein.

PREP: 25 mins
BAKE: 6 to 10 mins
TOTAL: 1:01
YIELD: two 12" thin-crust pizzas
SERVING SIZE: 1/16 (35g)

Mix all of the ingredients to make a soft, supple dough. Knead for 5 
minutes, divide the dough in half, cover with lightly greased plastic 
wrap, and let rest and relax for 15 minutes (or for up to an hour or 
so; work it into your schedule as you see fit).

Grease two 12" squares of parchment paper. Use your greased fingers 
to press each piece of dough on the parchment into an 11" to 12" 
circle about 1/8" thick. Brush or spray the crusts with olive oil, 
and let them rest for about 30 minutes, while you preheat your oven 
to 450°F (with a pizza stone inside, if you have one).

Place the crusts with their parchment directly on the stone, or onto 
a baking sheet. Bake until they're just starting to brown around the 
edges, about 4 minutes. Remove them from the oven, top with your 
favorite toppings - we've used pesto, sliced tomatoes, and mozzarella 
here - and bake for an additional 6 minutes, until everything's warm 
and bubbly.

To make grilled pizza: Be prepared to grill your pizza within 15 
minutes of shaping it; you don't want it to rise too much. So, make 
sure your barbecue grill is heated (or cooled) to medium-hot by the 
time the dough is ready to grill.

Set the rack 3" to 4" above the fire. Take one circle of dough, on 
its parchment, and swiftly but carefully turn it (dough down, 
parchment on top) onto the grill. Peel off the parchment.

After 1 minute, turn the crust over; it should be stiff enough to 
turn quite easily (if not, your grill isn't hot enough). Layer with 
toppings. This is not the time to pile on the meat, cheese, veggies, 
etc. Since the pizza will be cooking very briefly, it's better to top 
with just a minimal amount of stuff: thinly sliced veggies, a thin 
layer of cheese, etc.

Bake an additional 5 minutes or so, with the cover on (if your grill 
has a cover), or until the filling is hot and the cheese is melting. 
Adjust the temperature of the grill if the bottom is browning too 
quickly. And, move the pizza around on the grill if one side or the 
other starts to get too brown on the bottom. Repeat the grilling 
process with the other pizza.
