The Authentic Italian Pizza In Thin Crust

We had pizza for dinner tonight, served with pepperoncini and a bottle of ice cold beer!

This is my second attempt to bake this pizza- it's super thin and crunchy, almost like paper thin and has the texture of soda crackers!
The secret? Proofing time is 3 1/2 hours and the yeast used is mild (1 1/2 tsp). This mixture enables the dough to ferment gradually and to develop its flavor to the maxim. Moreover, in this recipe- cake flour is used and not the all-purpose flour! I found this recipe in our North Beach Library's cuisine section where rows of Italian cooking and dessert books are on display! This is a wonderful pizza with a distinct flavor that would make you salivate for more, more and more!
