Ingredients
- 1. Approximately one and a half cups of versatile all-purpose flour
- 2. A generous cup of hearty bread flour
- 3. A half cup of wholesome rye flour
- 4. One and a half teaspoons of salt for flavor
- 5. An optional cup of water to adjust consistency
- 6. A tablespoon of fragrant olive oil for richness
- 7. A dash of active dry yeast, around an eighth of a teaspoon
- 8. An optional extra tablespoon of water for desired texture
- 9. About one and a half tablespoons of cornmeal, or more if needed
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine a blend of bread flour, all-purpose flour, and rye flour along with a pinch of salt. Pour in water, a drizzle of olive oil, and a dash of yeast. Stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture forms a sticky, slightly rough dough. If the dough seems too dry, you can incorporate an extra tablespoon of water.
Step 2
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow the dough to ferment and rise at room temperature for approximately 18 hours until it has more than doubled in size.
Step 3
Carefully transfer the risen dough onto a floured surface. Divide it into two equal portions. Fold in the left side of one piece towards the center, then repeat with the top, right, and bottom edges. Flip the dough over so the seams are facing downward, creating a smooth, round top. Repeat the folding process with the second portion of dough.
Step 4
Preheat your oven to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C) and prepare a heavy-duty baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle a bit of cornmeal on top for added texture.
Step 5
Gently flatten and shape the dough into rustic rounds or ovals. Customize the toppings as you desire.
Step 6
Bake the prepared loaves in the preheated oven until the edges turn a beautiful golden brown, usually around 10 to 12 minutes.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your flour in an airtight container to maintain its freshness and prevent bugs from getting in.
- 2. Store your yeast in the fridge to extend its shelf life and keep it active for your pizza dough.
- 3. Use a glass jar to store your olive oil – it will prevent light from oxidizing the oil and altering its flavor.
