2787.0. "Pizza Dough: Whole Wheat" by TEMPE::KWILSON (Just plane crazy) Sat Dec 08 1990 17:08

    I'm looking for a whole wheat pizza dough recipe that was in one of the
    issues of Bon Appetit from this year. I don't know which issue but I
    think it was March. Mine got thrown out and I've just used the last
    dough from the freezer. If you can help I'd appreciate it as this is
    the only whole wheat recipe I've found that's easy to make, low in
    fat and, most important, made a good thin crust pizza.
    
    Thanks/Keith

2787.1whole wheat pizza crustsTLE::EIKENBERRYA goal is a dream with a deadlineSat Dec 08 1990 20:1043
    March it was....good memory!  Sounds great - I think I know what I'm
    having for dinner tomorrow night! 
    
    Here it is:
    
    				Whole What Pizza Crusts
    
    			(Makes five 10-inch pizza crusts)
    
    Sponge 
    	2 cups warm water (105-115 degrees)
    	2 1/2 Tablespoons dry yeast
    	3/4 cup whole wheat flour
    
    Dough
    	1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
    	3/4 cup olive oil
    	2 teaspoons salt
    	3 1/4 cups (or more) unbleached all-purpose flour
    
    For sponge:
    
    Mix water, yeast and 3/4 cup whole wheat flour in large bowl.  Cover
    and let stand in warm draft-free area until foamy, about 15 minutes.
    
    For dough:
    
    Stir 1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour into sponge.  Add oil, salt and 3
    cups all-purpose flour.  Stir to combine.  Dust work surface with 1/4
    cup all purpose flour.  Turn dough out onto floured surface and knead
    until smooth and elastic, adding more flour if dough is very sticky,
    about 5 minutes.
    
    Transfer dough to larger bowl.  Cover lightly with towel.  Let rise in
    warm draf-free area until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.  Divide
    dough into 5 equal pieces.  Roll each piece out on lightly floured
    surface to 10-inch round.  Transfer to 10-inch pizza pan.  Press to
    build rim.
    
    (Can be prepared 2 weeks ahead.  Wrap pizza crusts individually and
    freeze.  Thaw as needed at room temperature before using.)
