Basil And Three-Cheese Thin-Crust Pizza
- Dough:
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/2 cup warm water (100u0b0 to 110u0b0)
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (about 5 1/2 ounces), divided
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons stone-ground yellow cornmeal
- 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil
- Remaining ingredients:
- 3/4 cup (3 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup part-skim ricotta
- 2 tablespoons finely grated fresh Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil
- To prepare dough, dissolve honey and yeast in 1/2 cup warm water in a large bowl; let stand 5 minutes. Lightly spoon flour into dry measuring cups; level with a knife. Add 1 cup flour and salt to yeast mixture; stir until a soft dough forms. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 6 minutes); add enough of the remaining flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent dough from sticking to hands (dough will feel slightly sticky). Place dough in a large bowl coated with cooking spray, turning to coat top. Cover and chill 1 hour.
- Position one oven rack in the middle setting. Position another rack in the lowest setting, and place a rimless baking sheet on the bottom rack. Preheat oven to 500u0b0.
- Roll dough into a 13-inch circle (about 1/4 inch thick) on a lightly floured surface. Place dough on a rimless baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal. Crimp edges of dough with fingers to form a rim. Brush oil over dough. Remove preheated baking sheet from oven; close oven door. Slide dough onto preheated baking sheet, using a spatula as a guide. Bake on lowest oven rack at 500u0b0 for 5 minutes. Remove from oven.
- Spread Spicy Pizza Sauce in an even layer over crust, leaving a 1/4-inch border. Combine mozzarella and ricotta; sprinkle evenly over sauce. Top with Parmesan. Bake on middle rack an additional 10 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese melts. Sprinkle with basil. Cut into 8 wedges.
