Time 17m

Yield enough dough for 4 pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 envelope active dry yeast or 1 cake yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup warm water
2 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt
1/4 cup johnnycake meal (see note)
3 tablespoons whole-wheat flour
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus oil for greasing and brushing
2 1/2 to 3 cups unbleached white flour

Steps:

  • In a bowl dissolve the yeast and sugar in the water. After 5 minutes, stir in the salt, johnnycake meal, whole-wheat flour and oil. Gradually stir in enough white flour to form a soft but not sticky dough. Knead until smooth. (The dough can also be made in a food processor.)
  • Place the dough in an oiled bowl, brush the top with oil, and cover with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 to 2 hours or until doubled in bulk. Punch the dough down.
  • Let the dough rise again for 40 minutes or until doubled in bulk. Punch down. If the dough is sticky, knead in a little more flour.
