Time 1h7m

Yield 2 14 inch pizza's, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 (1/4 ounce) envelopes active dry yeast
2 cups warm water (100 to 110 )
5 cups unbleached all-purpose flour, divided
1 cup stone ground whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons dried thyme
1/3 cup parmesan cheese (optional)
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Combine yeast and 2 cups warm water in a 2-cup liquid measuring cup, and let stand 5 minutes.
  • Combine yeast mixture, 3 cups all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, next 3 ingredients and, if desired, cheese in a large mixing bowl; add 1/2 cup olive oil. Beat at low speed with an electric mixer until blended, stopping to scrape down sides as necessary. Stir in enough remaining all-purpose flour (about 1/3 cups) to make a stiff dough. (Dough will be smooth.).
  • Place dough and 1 tablespoon oil in a large lightly greased bowl, turning to coat top. Cover and let rise in a warm place, free from drafts, 45 minutes or until dough is doubled in bulk. Punch dough down.
  • Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and knead 4 or 5 times. Divide dough in half, and shape into balls. Roll each ball into a 14-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Place one 14-inch circle onto a lightly floured pizza peel; brush with 1 tablespoon oil, and prick with a fork. Add toppings to pizza dough.
  • Place pizza gently on floor of brick oven. Repeat procedure with remaining dough circle, and place on floor of brick oven.
  • Bake each pizza at 500° for 5 to 7 minutes or until browned and bubbly.
  • Note: To bake in a conventional oven, place dough on a lightly floured pizza stone or baking sheet, and bake at 475° for 10 to 12 minutes.
  • To freeze: Divide risen dough in half before kneading, and wrap in plastic wrap. Place in zip-top freezer bags; freeze up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in refrigerator.
