Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

15 tablespoons slightly warm water (1 cup, less 1

tablespoon)

1 tablespoon active dry yeast

2 cups unbleached white flour (up to 1/2 cup of

the total flour can be whole-wheat or rye,

if desired)

1 teaspoon sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

Optional Additions:

1 tablespoon caraway seeds, or

1 tablespoon dill weed, or

1 tablespoon sunflower seeds, or

1 tablespoon minced garlic

 

To the measuring cup of warm water, add yeast and stir to dissolve.

 

In a food processor, combine flour(s), sugar, and salt. With motor running, add

yeast mixture and process just until mixture comes together. Turn dough out

onto a lightly floured work surface and knead a few times, into a nearly smooth

ball.

 

Yield:

" 12 pieces "

NOTES : " Use the regular blade of your processor or a special dough blade, if

you have one. Either way, the key is to not overmix or overknead the dough, as

it will become tough. A few gentle turns on a work surface (1 to 2 minutes) is

all the kneading required. Since it is a sticky dough, I find it easier to use

a dough scraper for kneading. It keeps you from adding too much flour by

keeping your hands off the dough. Follow with a few minutes rest before pushing

the dough into shape. If your processor is big enough, the recipe can be

doubled to make 2 pizzas or 1 large pie. For extra flavor I like to toss a

tablspoon of nuts, seeds, herbs, or garlic into the processor with the flour.

Finish your pizza using one of the following topping combinations, or try some

of your old favorites. "
