Serves: 8
Ingredients
  • ¼ ounce package of active dry yeast
  • ¼ cup warm water
  • 1 teaspoon of maple syrup
  • ¾ cups cold water
  • 2-2/12 cups white whole-wheat flour (or all-purpose flour)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoons salt
  • 2-4 tablespoons of cornmeal
Instructions
  1. Dissolve the yeast and ¼ cup of luke-warm water. Let mixture stand until yeast begins to foam - approximately 10 minutes. Mix the cold water with olive oil, salt and maple syrup.
  2. Put 1 cup of flour in mixing bowl fitted with a dough hook. Add the yeast mixture and begin mixing. Add more flour and water mixture and continue mixing. Adding more flour as you go and more cold water as needed. Mix until the dough forms a ball, pulls away from the sides of the bowl and is smooth and elastic. Remove from mixer and knead by hand for another few minutes. Transfer to an oiled mixing bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let rise in a warm area for 30 minutes, or until the dough has doubled in volume.
  3. Spray a 19-inch pizza pan with olive oil and sprinkle with the cornmeal. I prefer an oven pizza stone that has been heated up for 40 minutes in a 500 degree oven. I use the cornmeal on the pizza board for easy sliding.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured work surface and cut into three separate balls and knead for about 5 minutes. Put onto a plate and cover with a damp towel. Let the dough balls rest for another 10 minutes.
  5. Stretch out the pizza dough to your desired thickness and cover with toppings.
