How to Make Crispy Pizza Crust Without a Pizza Stone

by Katie Sweeney 12

Although I've always wanted a pizza stone, I simply can't justify buying one. Sure, I make pizza on a regular basis, but I have a small kitchen and limited budget. But that doesn't stop me from enjoying super-crispy pizza crust! To check out my technique for ensuring that the crust is thin and crunchy every time, read more.

1. Before you start to prep any of the pizza ingredients, preheat the oven to 500°F and place a large baking sheet in the oven.
2. Roll out the pizza dough as thin as possible, shaping it to fit on the baking sheet.
3. Once the baking sheet has been in the oven for at least 15 minutes, remove with a pot holder. Drizzle with olive oil and turn to coat the whole sheet.
4. Transfer the dough to the prepared sheet and cover with the cheese and toppings. Bake immediately for 12-15 minutes until the crust is browned and the cheese is nicely melted.
