Ingredients[]
Dough mix[]
- 8 cups unbleached bread flour
- 4 cups unbleached all purpose flour
- 1 cup stone ground cornmeal
- ¼ cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons salt
- 3 tablespoons baking powder
Pizza dough[]
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon fast-rise yeast - for a fluffier, bread-like pizza, use 1½ teaspoons yeast
- 3 cups dough mix
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions[]
Dough mix[]
- In a large bowl, whisk together bread flour, all purpose flour, cornmeal, Sugar, salt and baking powder very well.
- Store in well sealed plastic bags. Keeps 4 months.
Pizza dough[]
- If you like your pizza crisp, use the lesser amount of yeast.
- For a fluffier, bread-like pizza use the larger amount (and do not roll too thin).
- Depending on the yeast you choose (i.e. Brands differ in performance as do fast or active dry varieties), the fermentation may vary somewhat. This dough can be kneaded by hand, in a mixer with a dough hook or in a bread machine (on dough cycle, following manufacturer instructions).
- For the mixer, place water in a bowl with yeast.
- Mix a moment and allow mixture to sit about five minutes, to allow yeast to expand.
- Add pizza mix and oil, then knead, until smooth and elastic on slow speed - about 5–7 minutes.
- Once dough is made, cover well with oiled plastic, (or refrigerate) and allow to rest one hour.
- Deflate before proceeding.
