List of Ingredients
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole-wheat flour
2 envelopes rapid-rise yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 1/2 cups hot water (120 F to 130 F)
Cornmeal
Recipe
1. Food processor: Mix flours, yeast, salt and sugar in a food processor. With machine
running, slowly add water. Process until dough forms a ball. Process 1 minute longer
until dough is smooth and elastic. By hand: Stir dry ingredients in a large bowl. Stir in
water until dough pulls away from sides. Knead on floured surface 5 minutes or until
smooth.
2. Place dough on a floured surface, cover with plastic wrap and let rest 10
minutes (dough will just start to rise).
3. Divide dough into 6 pieces. Shape each into a disk. Use one or more right away, or
wrap individually and refrigerate up to 2 days or freeze up to 3 months.
4. To bake: Put oven rack in lowest position. Heat oven to 500 F. Sprinkle cornmeal on a
large cookie sheet.
5. For each pizza: On floured surface with floured fingers, pat 1 piece of dough into a
5-inch round, then stretch into an 8-inch circle. Place on cookie sheet (you can bake 2 at a
time). Add one of the toppings at left, leaving a 1-inch edge. Bake 11 to 12 minutes until
crust is golden and crisp.
* Serves 1.
