Instructions

Step 1

Begin by preheating the oven to 350ºF. If you have a pizza stone, place that in the oven to preheat as well. If not, place the baking sheet in the oven to preheat.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl whisk together the dry ingredients.

Step 3

Add the eggs, oil, and vinegar. Stir to mix well, then add the boiling water. Stir for about 1 minute to fully mix. Let the pizza dough sit for 5 minutes. This gives time for the liquids to absorb, making the dough easier to work with.

Step 4

Shape the dough into a ball and place between two large pieces of greased parchment paper. Use non stick cooking spray to coat the sides facing each other. Place the dough in between and flatten into a thick disc.

Step 5

Use a rolling pin on top of the parchment to roll out into a 10-inch, 1/4-1/2-inch thick circle. If you roll the dough out thinner, the crust will be thin and crispy, but not fluffy. If one side becomes lopsided as you roll, simply tear off the excess dough and move it to a shorter edge. Once you have a rough circle, you can go around the edges, pressing in with your fingers to make a smooth circle.

Step 6

Peel off the top paper, leaving the dough on the bottom parchment paper. Transfer to the preheated baking tray or pizza stone. Bake for 15 minutes, rotating halfway through. The crust will be firm, but not golden on the bottom. It will finish baking after the toppings.

Step 7

Remove the crust and pan from the oven, and increase to the oven temperature to 375ºF. Place on a heat-proof surface. Spread on a thin layer of pizza sauce (adding too much will cause the crust to be soggy). Add toppings and cheese.

Step 8

Return the pan to the middle oven rack and bake for 7-8 minutes, or until the cheese melts. To further melt the cheese, making it golden and bubbly, leave the pizza on the middle rack and turn on the broiler for 1-2 minutes. Remove from the oven, let it sit 1-2 minutes, slice and enjoy!
