Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 12 teaspoon salt
- 1 (1/4 ounce) packet active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup warm water
- 12 cup extra virgin olive oil
Method
- Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl and set aside.
- Combine the yeast and sugar in a small bowl and add warm water.
- Warm means hot enough that you can only hold your finger in it for about 2 or 3 seconds but not so hot that you have to jerk your hand away.
- Allow the yeast and water to get bubbly, about 8 minutes.
- Add the yeast/water/sugar mixture and the olive oil to the dry ingredients.
- Gently mix with a wooden spoon and then switch to your hands.
- Dump the dough on a wooden board or counter top and knead until smooth and elastic (about 6-8 minutes).
- You may need to add more flour.
- When kneaded place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a towel.
- Set in a warm place and allow to rise until double (about 45minutes).
- After the dough has risen gently punch it down, knead again and then divide into two equal pieces.
- Each piece is enough for an approximately 11inch pizza.
