Whole Wheat Pizza Dough
Yield: one 16-inch pizza; 8 servings
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1½ cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
2 packets active dry yeast
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon sugar
1 ¼ cups plus 1 tablespoon warm water (105 F to 115 F)
Procedure:
In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry
ingredients except sugar and yeast. Stir together
thoroughly and form a well in center. Blend
remaining ingredients and pour into well. Brush
flour into liquid with fingertips until all flour
is incorporated, then gather dough into ball.
Knead on a floured work surface for about 10
minutes or until dough is smooth and elastic.
Shape into ball, place in lightly greased bowl
and turn once to grease entire surface. Cover
bowl with clean towel, place in a warm,
draft-free location and let rise until double.
Punch down dough, form into a small circle and
place on floured work surface. Let rest for 5
minutes, then press out dough until it is
slightly larger than pan size (use a rolling pin
if you like). Fold dough in half and in half
again. Place "wedge" onto greased pizza pan
that's been "dusted" with corn meal. Unfold dough
and crimp edges to form a crust. Top with
favorite sauce and toppings and bake in 500 F oven for about 20 minutes.
