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.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 4 servings (1 very thin 12- by 8-inch pizza)

Ingredients

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

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 500°F.

    Step 2

    Whisk together hot water and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt until most of salt is dissolved, then whisk in 1 tablespoon oil.

    Step 3

    Coat dough lightly with flour, then stretch with floured hands on a floured surface into a 12- by 8-inch rectangle. Transfer dough to an oiled 15- by 10- by 1-inch baking pan, stretching dough to cover bottom of pan. Dimple dough by pressing your fingertips all over, then brush with oil mixture.

    Step 4

    Bake pizza in pan on bottom rack of oven until golden brown on top and bottom, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer pizza to a rack, then brush with remaining tablespoon oil and sprinkle with remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Serve warm, torn into pieces.
