No rise pizza dough

We had this last week at my friend Sara's and it was an amazing thin crispy crust.  

Prep time- 10 minutes
Cooking time- 20 minutes
Feeds- roughly 6

Number of things that get dirty- 2
mixer with dough hook
baking trays

Ingredients
1 tsp sugar
1/2 cup lukewarm water
1 envelope yeast (3 1/4 tsp)
1 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour (you can use all whole wheat)
1 1/2 tbsp sugar
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp each basil & oregano
1 tbsp plus 2 tsp olive oil
3/4 cup lukewarm water



1. Dissolve sugar in lukewarm water. Sprinkle yeast over water. Let stand 5 minutes, then stir to dissolve. Measure flours, sugar, salt, and herbs into processor bowl. Process 10 seconds. Add yeast; process 10 seconds more. Combine 1 tbsp oil with water. Add slowly through feed tube while machine is running. Process until dough gathers around the blades in a mass. Process 45 seconds longer. Dough should be slightly sticky. If machine slows down, add up to 1/4 cup more flour.

2. Place dough on a lightly floured surface. Knead for 2 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Divide in half and roll into two pizzas. Let dough rise for 15 minutes. Meanwhile prepare toppings. Preheat oven to 450 F

3. Brush dough lightly with remaining 2 tsp oil and spread with sauce. And cheese and toppings. Bake on bottom rack at 450 F for 20 minutes until crisp and golden.
