- Ready In:
- 1hr 10mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Yields:
-
2 pizzas
ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
- 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
- 1 (1/4 ounce) packet active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup warm water
- 1⁄2 cup extra virgin olive oil
directions
- Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl and set aside.
- Combine the yeast and sugar in a small bowl and add warm water. Warm means hot enough that you can only hold your finger in it for about 2 or 3 seconds but not so hot that you have to jerk your hand away.
- Allow the yeast and water to get bubbly, about 8 minutes.
- Add the yeast/water/sugar mixture and the olive oil to the dry ingredients.
- Gently mix with a wooden spoon and then switch to your hands. Dump the dough on a wooden board or counter top and knead until smooth and elastic (about 6-8 minutes). You may need to add more flour.
- When kneaded place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with a towel. Set in a warm place and allow to rise until double (about 45minutes).
- After the dough has risen gently punch it down, knead again and then divide into two equal pieces. Each piece is enough for an approximately 11inch pizza.

I'm 26, married with two four legged children:-). My husband and I love to spend time playing scrabble, riding our bikes, messing around with our dogs and in general enjoying life.
We just joined our local Adult Kickball league so we're both excited about that! We do have to figure out ways to work off all the yummy food I make from 'Zaar after all:-)
