Cooks Illustrated Thin Crust Pizza




This is S.

The best recipe I've found in a while comes from a source we use all the time for things that aren't pizza: cooks illustrated online. I won't put up the whole recipe, but key elements include:

* An overnight rise in the fridge. I don't think I'll try rising dough again another way because the dough that this creates stretches beautifully and doesn't break part or tear which can be super, super frustrating. This relates to the nice color on the crust too.

* Mixing the dough in a food processor and then only a little kneading. Seems to work better for me than other recipes I've tried with a dough hook.

Here's some photos of the results:
