100% whole wheat pizza dough
Some friends invited us over to their home for "Pizza Friday" last week. I was happy when Angeli told me she made a 100% whole wheat crust as that is what I enjoy most. She used this recipe and for the pizza sauce she used Sis. Castellano's homemade Italian marinara sauce combined with 1 can of tomato paste and it was excellent. She made a Hawaiian pizza which I hadn't had in years so of course I had to run out and get some canadian bacon and pineapple a.s.a.p. to make my own at home because it hit the spot.
100% whole wheat pizza dough (my friend Angeli)
1 cup warm water
2 1/4 teaspoons yeast
2 5/8 cups whole wheat flour (for white dough simply use 3 cups white flour)
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
all purpose flour as needed for kneading
Stir together warm water and yeast and let sit for 5 minutes. Stir together the flour and salt then add yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir together for about one minute then knead for 5 minutes or up to 10 by hand. Let rise, covered tightly, in a greased bowl for about an hour and a half. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 500 degrees.
Knead for one minute on a lightly floured surface, then let sit for 15 minutes lightly covered before rolling. Transfer to a pizza paddle dusted with cornmeal before adding toppings. Slide onto preheated pizza stone and bake 10 to 12 minutes.
