Does anyone have a recipe for a thin cracker type pizza crust? I have the regular flour, yeast,sugar, salt recipe, but find them hard to roll without them springing back. I want it thin and crispy. Thanks for any help.

Not too long ago, I accidently made thin crust pizzas. I think the hot water I put in was TOO hot and it killed the yeast. My dough didn't rise, but I hand stretched it into the pans anyway. It was the best pizza I ever made!
Here is one so simple you can put away all your ingredients! Tortilla pizzas! Take buritto size tortillas and place on a cookie sheet. Usually only 2 at a time will fit on each cookie sheet. Place in a pre-heated 400 oven. Bake for approximately 10 minutes or until lightly--very lightly browned. Remove and place your pizza toppiings like sauce, cheese, pepperoni, etc. on each baked tortilla.
To prevent the pizza dough from springing back, try letting it rest for a minute or less. This is what I do when I shape my pizza dough.
You can get thin crust pizza with any pizza recipe. The method is simple. Roll the crust until it starts pulling back, then let it rest for 5 to 8 minutes and roll again until it pulls back.

"This tender yeast crust reaches perfection when baked on a pizza stone. No need to partially bake it before topping with your favorite pizza ingredients."
INGREDIENTS:
1 cup warm water (110
degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 tablespoon white sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
DIRECTIONS:
1. Stir water, sugar and yeast together until dissolved. Add the olive oil and the salt. Stir in the flour until well blended. Let dough rest for 10 minutes.
This is the one that I use and it comes out thin.

Have used a Rye Cracker for pizza crust. Can't remember the 'brand' name (package from Sweden - I believe; colored red/blue/white) however I always purchased it from CostPlus in the ethnic food aisle. It is a 'large' round small pizza size rye cracker and seems to do the job for our family.
