Do you use preshredded cheese or do you get a block and shred it yourself? I am new to pizza making and trying to find the cheapest way to do it. Thanks!

Just had to let you know that I tried this last week and it was wonderful. I’ve tried various pizza dough recipes over the years and none was quite right .. this takes the cake. The whole family liked it, and even the picky eaters finished their plates. Thanks.

I would dissolve the yeast in the water first and then add the other ingredients. I’ve done it that way before and it was fine.

How would you make this without a food processor?
Do you need to proof the yeast first, or just mix everything together and knead for a few minutes?

I have made this recipe without a stone. I use the same temp, and a preheated thick cookie sheet or 9×13 pan instead of a stone. The crust isn’t quite as crisp but it works pretty darn well.

What if I don’t have a stone? What would the temp of the stove be If I use and regular pizza pan?

well, it did turn out rubbery as you mentioned. Told my hubby today to gift me an oven for my birthday in May instead of clothes… So this would be one of the first things I would try once I have an oven. Thanks Kristen.

A microwave will definitely not produce a proper pizza crust. The heat it puts out is just too moist and the crust will be rubbery and will not brown.

So yes…if you want to make baked goods, an oven is definitely the way to go!

Hi,

I don’t want to sound silly. But I had a doubt. I don’t own an oven, but I do have a microwave. Your thin crust pizza seems like it is so easy to make, so I thought (esp. since it IS a thin crust) it would work in a microwave as well. But the pizza base doesn’t seem to be cooking well in a microwave. So I wondered if you had any experience with baking stuff using a microwave.

Or should I save, and buy myself an oven?
