No Knead Pizza Crust





The inspiration for this recipe comes from Fine Cooking Magazine. This crust works well in the oven or on the grill. We do like this recipe for thin crust only because we have an awesome thick crust recipe. Since this is a wet crust it does not require kneading. It does however require 2 hour rise time then refrigeration for at least 4 hours. The crust will keep in the refrigerator covered tightly for up to 2 weeks. It does seem to be better after a couple days in the fridge. This makes several pizzas.

Here is what you need! 

  1. Warm Water - 600 grams - 2 5/8 cup
  2. Yeast - 1 pack - 2 1/4 tsp
