Dissolve 2 tsp of regular yeast in 1/4 cup of very warm water. Add a pinch of sugar and stir to dissolve. Set aside for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, measure the flour and salt into the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with teh dough hook.
When the yeast is nice and foamy on top, add it to the bowl with the flour along with 3/4 cups of warm water and 2 tbsp of olive oil.
Mix on low for about 5 minutes or until the dough has pulled away from the sides and formed a smooth and glossy ball. Add 1 tbsp of water at a time if your dough is too dry and not coming together into a ball.
Remove the dough from the bowl and lightly oil the inside of the bowl. Put the dough back into the bowl and cover it with plastic wrap and set it to rise in a warmish spot for 90 minutes.
The dough should at least have doulbed in size after 90 minutes. Remove the dough from the bowl and divide it in half. Sprinkle some flour on a very clean counter top and roll and stretch the dough out to the size of your pizza pan. Flip it onto the pan and stretch it more until the pan is covered. Cover the pans with plastic wrap and let them sit for another 45 minutes.
That's it! Top the pizzas with your favorite toppings, bake them, and dig in!

This recipe makes two thin-crust 12-inch pizzas.
