| Individual Pizza's - Whole Wheat Dough.. Make Ahead
Pizza with Pecorino, Arugula, and Tomatoes
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups warm (115 degrees) water
2 packets ( ounce each) active dry yeast
1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for bowl
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons coarse salt
2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled), plus more for kneading
2 cups whole-wheat flour (spooned and leveled)
Directions:
Place water in a large bowl; sprinkle with yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Brush another large bowl
with oil.
In bowl with yeast, whisk sugar, oil, and salt. Stir in flours with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms. Transfer to oiled bowl; brush top of dough with oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap; let stand in a warm spot until dough
has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface. With floured hands, knead until smooth, about 15 seconds; divide into two balls.
Set balls on a plate (they should not touch); freeze until firm, about 1 hour.
Then freeze in a freezer bag up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in refrigerator.
Divide each ball of dough into 4 pieces. Using your hands, stretch each piece into a 5-inch disk (if dough becomes too elastic to work with, let it rest a few minutes).
Freeze shells on two parchment-lined baking sheets. Stack frozen shells between layers of parchment
paper. Freeze in a freezer bag up to 3 months. Bake from frozen or warm from aleady .
*
Helpful Hint: Form the shells before freezing, and skip thawing before using. Pull out just what you need for tonight's dinner; bake as directed.
