We enjoyed these delicately thin pizzas at the home of good friends. Kids love the opportunity to roll out the dough and to individualize their own pizza. You really need a pizza stone for this recipe to be a success. Roll the dough out THIN. You’ll be surprised how well it will cook!

Yield: 5 individual pizzas (double dough if you want more)

For the Sauce:
4, five-ounce cans of tomato paste

red pepper flakes

oregano

thyme

basil

Salt and pepper

(all to taste)

Mix equal parts paste and water in a large bowl. Add seasonings and stir well. Let sit overnight for best results.

For the Dough:
1 package yeast

1 tsp. Honey

¾ cup warm water, divided

¾ cup flour (plus additional flour)

1 tsp. Salt

1 tablespoon olive oil

cornmeal

Dissolve the yeast and honey in ¼ cup warm water. Combine the salt and flour in a separate bowl. Add the olive oil and the yeast mixture. Add the remaining ½ cup water. Add flour to look more like dough (you will need to add quite a bit). Knead for five minutes and cover with a damp cloth and let sit at least 3 hours in a warm place before using.

To Bake:
Use a pizza stone and preheat the stone for 1 ½ hours at 375 degrees. 15 minutes prior to baking, turn the heat up to 450 degrees.
Sprinkle the counter with cornmeal and roll our dough, 1/5 at a time. Roll very thin! Place toppings on pizza before transferring it to baking stone. Bake pizza at 450 for 5 minutes, then turn down heat to 400 degrees for 5-8 minutes more.
