Favor the Thin Crust Pizza Dough? Then you came to the right place to make your very own at home. Thin and Crunchy, but still sturdy enough to hold all of your favorite toppings.

The Thin Crust Pizza Dough is a Tortilla type dough that is perforated and par-baked. It makes for a really great light pizza.

While this recipe differs from Domino’s thin crust, I wanted to follow suit to come up with my version of a thin crust Pizza Dough.

Domino’s Thin Crust Pizza Ingredients

Enriched Wheat Flour (Malted Barley Flour), Water, Soybean Oil, Yeast, Dextrose, Baking Powder, Calcium Propionate, Wheat Starch, Sodium Metabisulphite, Cornstarch, Microcrystalline Cellulose, Dicalcium Phosphate, Soy Lecithin. Contains: Soy, Wheat, Barley.

JAH Thin Crust Pizza

For my version, I work off of the JAH Tortilla recipe. With a very small amount of yeast. The Tortilla recipe is Flour mixed with JAH Poly Flour. Which already contains the Sugar and Salt, as well as Lard and Baking powder.

A small amount of yeast is added to the water and mixed. The 1/2 Cup of JAH Poly Flour that would typically be used for the Flour Tortillas, is instead cut with Barley Flour by half for the Thin Crust Pizza Dough.

A bit more oil is added to inhibit gluten development and end up with a tortilla that has some elasticity. As well as some Cream of Tartar – to assist in a cracker-like feel when cooked.

I tried adding a bit of cornstarch but found this to cause the dough to go too flimsy and much prefer this Thin Crust recipe without it.

Pre-Baking the Thin Crust

The Pizza Dough is portioned out into 2 dough balls, about 155 g for a 12-Inch Pizza. You can of course use more or less for slightly thicker or thinner dough.

Once, this is rolled out thin and placed into a pizza pan. Perforate the Dough a bunch of times with a fork. This prevents any large bubbles from forming.

Then place into a preheated oven on the highest setting it will go with the rack in the middle position. Only Bake it until set, no browning yet. About 2 minutes. Remove and let cool before topping the Pizza and cooking again.

Once they are cooled but still slightly warm, wrap them in a plastic bag to prevent them from drying out, if you are not using them right away.

Prepare a bunch of Thin Crust Pizza Dough. Once they are cooled, place the waxed paper in between and stack them on top of each other. Then Place into a grocery bag to wrap and freeze.

Assembling the Pizza

Use the Thin Crust after it has been Par-baked just as you would the regular hand-tossed pizza dough.

Sauce right to the edge and top with Ingredients and Cheese. Bake in the Oven in the Middle rack position, the highest setting your oven will go for 5 minutes.

Cutting Thin Crust Pizza

Thin Crust pizza is always cut into squares instead of Pizza Slices. Just run the Slicer down the middle and once on each side both vertically and horizontally to slice your thin-crust pizza into squares.
