Preheat

oven to 400 degrees F (but not until dough has risen)

Equipment

Large mixing bowl, small mixing bowl, 2 pizza pans/cookie sheets

Prep Time

1 hour 20 minutes

Cook Time

10 minutes

Number of Servings

Makes 2 (12-inch) pizza crusts

Instructions

1. 1 1/2 cups warm water (110 degrees)

2. 2 1/4 tsp (1 packet) active dry yeast

3. 1 tsp cane sugar

   Combine in a small mixing bowl. Let stand for 5 minutes. The mixture will become foamy.

4. 4 cups whole wheat flour

5. 1/4 cup cup cornmeal

6. 2 tsp sea salt

7. 1/4 cup organic honey (suggested brand: Wholesome Sweeteners)

8. 2 Tbsp milk (organic if possible)

   Combine flour, cornmeal and salt in a large mixing bowl.  Add the honey and milk to the yeast mixture.  Using a dough hook on a stand mixer, add the flour mixture a little at a time until a dough ball forms. (If you don't have a stand mixer, you can do this by hand)  Knead for 10 minutes.  If dough becomes a little sticky, add more flour a tablespoon at a time. Once dough is finished kneading, place dough in a well oiled bowl.  Cover with plastic wrap and a towel.  Allow to rise 45 minutes to an hour, or until doubled in size.  I like to keep mine in the oven so I know it's away from any drafts. Once dough has doubled, punch dough down and divide in half on a floured surface (a large cutting board, counter or table).  Allow dough to rest for about 5 minutes.  Roll dough into desired shapes (round for a pizza pan or rectangle for a cookie sheet).  Lightly brush dough with olive oil.  Bake crusts at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Add desired toppings and bake another 10-15 minutes.

Options

Try spelt flour in place of whole wheat flour.  For those avoiding cow’s milk, replace milk with unsweetened almond or rice milk.
