Wholewheatandsemolinaflourpizzadough Recipes

Steps:

• Proof yeast in a measuring cup with lukewarm water.
• In a food processor add whole wheat and all purpose flours, proofed yeast, oil mixed with honey and salt. Pulse processor to combine all ingredients. Then process until the dough forms a ball on the blade. Remove dough to a large oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes or until dough has doubled in bulk.
• Punch down dough and transfer to a floured board and knead briefly. Divide dough into 4 equal portions and roll each piece into a ball. Place the balls of dough, covered, in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight. Bring the dough to room temperature before proceeding.
• On a floured board roll and stretch each piece of dough into a 7 to 8-inch circle. Place each circle on a wooden pizza peel or pizza pan and top as desired.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. and bake 7 to 8 minutes per pizza.

Steps:

• Bread maker Method:.
• 1. Add warm water, sugar and yeast to your bread maker pan.
• 2. Add the three types of flours. Remember: it's the Semolina that makes this recipe unique.
• 3. Add the salt.
• 4. Process in the bread maker on the "Dough" setting including the rising time.
• No Knead Method:.
• Mix dry ingredients then add water. Mix in a large bowl with the stick end of a wood spoon and let rise till doubled +.
• When finished, the dough will be easy to work and slightly sticky. Rub your hands with olive oil so the dough doesn't stick. For my use, I divide the finished dough into 6 pieces. Use olive oil to season 6, 9 inches cake pans and press the dough into each pan. Brush additional olive oil onto the top of each then cover the pans and let the dough rise again for about a half hour. After the third rise, press to the edges of the pan. You can also divide into two 13 inch crusts or one 16 inch.
• Next, prick the dough with a fork to prevent air bubbles then, par-bake the crusts for 5 minutes in a 425 degree oven. Place the cooked crusts on a rack and when cool, the 9 inch size fits in 5 gal freezer bags to freeze for use whenever you want a great pizza. I've tried these not par-baking first but it seems par-baking makes the better "lite crunch" on the outside of the crust and is best for freezing.
• When making a pizza from a frozen crust, thaw the crust first (in the microwave for 12 seconds on high). Place the crust back into a 9 inch pan, which has again been seasoned with olive oil and brush the top of the crust again. If you use a pizza screen, brush top and bottom. Apply the toppings of your choice and bake for 12-15 minutes at 425 degrees (less time if using a screen). You'll have a finished pizza that has a light crunch on the outside and a delightfully chewy texture. When checking cooking time, look for a golden brown edge on the crust.
