Thin Crust Genoa Salami Pizza Recipe

Add the 1 teaspoon olive oil to the frothy yeast mixture. In a separate bowl, whisk together the 1/4 teaspoon salt, 3 teaspoons sugar, and 2 1/2 cups all purpose flour.

Using a dough hook attachment, gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, a cup at a time, until the dough comes together to form a slightly tacky ball.

Remove the dough from the mixer and lightly knead it by hand. Cover the bowl with a clean tea towel and let the dough rest for 10 minutes.

Divide the dough in two. Take one half and stretch it out to fit an 11-inch pizza pan, aiming for an even, thin crust.

Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, rotating it halfway through baking for even cooking. Look for a crust that's golden and cheese that's bubbling.

Once baked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it stand for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps the cheese set and prevents everything from sliding off.
