This pizza is made with no toppings other than oil and salt and should be served as a snack. It's not really a cracker, but it's crisper than focaccia.

1 teaspoon hot water
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 lb fresh or thawed frozen pizza dough (not from a tube)
All-purpose flour for dusting

Preparation
