Home made thin and crispy pizza crusts (pepper, garlic powder, potato)

[Colorado^]

Try adding a tablespoon of gluten flour per cup of bread flour. Makes the dough stretch so much more.

Also, thin sliced (I use a potato peeler) Parmesan cheese all around the perimeter of the pizza makes those crusts taste so much better.

Anyone else have any home cooked pizza tips?

Add extra goodies to the crust area - so that they are much more special.

Whatever sauce I'm using, I spread it all the way to the edge, and the toppings too. Like the idea of adding a ring of shaved Parmesan cheese, have to try that one next time.

Also - prosciutto is ore popular than pepperoni in our house. Who likes that orange grease leaking all over the place? Bacon cut into smaller pieces works great too - we love a smoky flavor on our pizzas.

I also love garlic powder and oregano along the outer crust.

I use a mixture of four cheeses on our pizzas - mozzarella, asiago, parmesan and cheddar. Delicioso!

If you lift the pizza up from the cutting board for about twenty-thirty seconds before cutting it the crust will be much crispier as this releases steam from under the pizza. I usually take the pizza cutter and slide it under the crust, lifting up one side then slowly rotate the pizza a few turns. I used this trick back in my pizza-making days. I would have customers come-in and tell the waitresses they wanted me to make their pizzas because mine were always crispy.
