Another terrific pizza dough, S'kat! We topped ours with olive oil, minced garlic, pears and gorgonzola (amazing combo, by the way, I recommend it highly!) This has a terrific homey wheat flavor. As with all your pizza doughs, I find the addition of cornmeal really a magic touch that truly "makes" the dough. I used dried herbs, which still were delicious. I used whole wheat pastry flour plus a Tbs of vital wheat gluten to make this even more "whole wheat". I forgot to add the parmesean, but one of the great things is that your pizza doughs are very versatile! Thanks for another great recipe!
