New York- Style thin crust Pizza (Artisan GF)

By nnlester

Ingredients

• 1 recipe Pizza Dough
• Olive Oil
• Cornmeal

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees with a pizza stone inside, then prepare the Pizza Dough.

Drizzle a liberal amount of olive oil onto a 12 inch pizza pan. Use your hand to spread the oil and evenly coat the pan.

Transfer the dough ball to the pan and use your hands to spread the dough to the edges of the pan. (Add more olive oil to your hand if the dough is sticking.) Form a slight lip around the edge of the crust. Let rise in a warm location for 10 minutes.

Par-bake the naked dough for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven. Using a spatula remove the par-baked crust from the pan and transfer to a wooden pizza paddle lightly dusted with cornmeal. (If you don't have a pizza paddle you could use another large flat surface- such as a cookie sheet- that would make it easy to transfer the pizza with toppings from your work surface to the oven.)

Top with your choice of toppings.

Bake directly on the pizza stone for 10 to 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and slightly golden in places.

Remove from the oven and let set for 5 minutes before slicing.
