Cold-Raised Whole Wheat Pizza Dough

Makes a tasty and healthy pizza crust. The flavor is so good, because of the long raising time. (Still it's easy and fast to make!)

• Ready In: 24 hrs 20 mins
• Yields: 1 12

Ingredients

• 3⁄4 cup whole wheat flour or 3⁄4 cup  spelt flour
• 3⁄4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1  teaspoon dry yeast (powdered)
• 3⁄4 teaspoon salt
• 2⁄3 cup cold water
• 2  teaspoons olive oil

Directions

1. Combine flours, yeast and salt. Mix well.
2. Combine water and oil. Add to flour-mixture, stir to blend.
3. Knead dough on a flour-coated counter, adding more flour as needed. (or water if it seems too dry).
4. When dough is "soft", shape in to a ball and roll in flour. Transfer to a big bowl and cover.
5. Let stand in refrigerator overnight.
6. Next day knead dough 1 min., then let it rest for 10-30 minutes. Roll out and place on a flour-coated baking sheet.
7. (I usually pre-bake the dough for 8-10 minutes at 400F).
