*updated April 21, 2014: I've found I can get a great thin, crispy crust on a pizza pan with holes in it.
I'm a thin-crust kind of person, well, more accurately, a Niakwa Pizza kind of person. This is from www.recipezaar.com. It's #95048. If I really work this dough and stretch it, I can make it (almost) fit an 11x15 baking sheet. I just copied and pasted from the site:
makes 8 slices
2 1/4 teaspoons yeast
1/4 teaspoon sugar
3/4 cup hot water
1 3/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (14 ounce) jar pizza sauce
your choice of pizza toppings
* pepperoni
* precooked bacon
* tomato, sliced
* green pepper
* mozzarella cheese, shredded
* chopped garlic
Dissolve yeast and sugar in hot water.
Let sit for 8 minutes.
Meanwhile mix flour and salt.
Pour yeast mixture over flour mixture and mix well with a heavy spoon.
Turn onto floured surface and knead for 2 minutes.
Spread into a 12-14" circle.
(I do this directly onto a pizza stone with a marble rolling pin).
If you roll it out on a counter top, transfer to a greased pizza pan, stretching to edges.
Cover with sauce and desired topping.
Bake at 500 degrees for 8-12 minutes or until edges are golden.
