- Number of Servings: 12
Ingredients
1 1/2 T dry active yeast2 c whole wheat flour1 T sugar1/4 c cornmeal1 1/2 T olive oil1 1/2 t salt1 c warm water (not hot!)
Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
Mix yeast, sugar, cornmeal, 1 c flour and 1/2 c warm water. Mix and let sit for 5 minutes or so. Add oil, salt and about 2/3 of the remaining flour. Knead well for about 3-5 minutes, adding flour and water one tablespoon at a time as needed. (Add water if the dough is dry; add flour if the dough is wet.) Dough will not be sticky. Place in warm space covered with a damp towel and allow to rise for 15 minutes. The dough will not rise much, and it will seem slightly tough. That's OK.
Divide into two, then use a rolling pin to roll into two rounds to fit your pans. Use a fork to pierce the dough on both sides, and place on either pizza pan or in a cast-iron skillet (for crispier crust).
Top as desired (extra calories) and then bake for 10 minutes or until crispy.
Slice each "pizza" into six slices.
Number of Servings: 12
