    There is a place in Neptune, NJ called Pete & Elda’s Bar and Carmen’s Pizzeria that has this ridiculously thin crust pizza, and a sort of (easy) contest to eat an XXL pie and get a t-shirt. When I was a kid, we used to go there every month or so to get a new T-shirt for fun. This is the closest I’ve gotten to recreating the nostalgia, having moved away from there about 20 years ago.

    I know I’ll get s**t, but I’m not huge on exact measurements lol. Here’s what I did: (using mobile so formatting may be bad)

    1. Just over one cup unbleached all purpose flour
    2. 1/2 tsp salt (I may have used more)
    3. 1/4 tsp baking powder (this should be pretty close)
    Mix together in a bowl.

    Separately mix

    1. 6 tbsp water
    2. 2 tbsp oil (I used canola cuz it’s what I have)
    3. 1/2 tsp sugar

    Mix all together then knead briefly, let sit under a towel while the stone heats up. Add the sauce and cheese and cook for 8-9 minutes.
