No-Knead Thin Crust Pizza Dough

Pizza Dough

1 C. all purpose flour
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. sugar
1/4 t. instant yeast
1/2 C. water (not warmed)
1 t. Olive oil

Mix dry ingredients, add wet ingredients and mix. It will seem like too much water at first, then too dry. When thoroughly mixed cover with plastic wrap and let sit on the counter for at least 5 hours. Fold the dough towards the center from all sides and recover with plastic wrap. Place in the refrigerator for the next day.
When you are ready to make the pizza remove the dough from the refrigerator and let sit on the counter for at least 1/2 hour. Fold dough towards the center again and roll out of the bowl on a heavily floured board. Cover the top with more flour and roll into a ball. Sprinkle a little more flour and cover with plastic wrap. Let sit for 1 hour and dust with lots more flour to stretch to the size you want. Top the way you want, but keep it light, and cook in a HOT oven or a stone or heavy pan that has been heated. It can also be grilled.
