Recipe : Whole-Wheat Pizza Dough

You can create endless pizza variations with this delicious dough. Try the tomato-basil
topping, below. It's the luscious topping on our front cover! You can also add
mushrooms and olives, feta cheese and scallions, sliced cooked turkey, cooked shrimp
or any combination of your favorites.

Makes 8 Servings

Sponge:
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1/4 cup lukewarm (105o-115o) water
1/4 cup all-purpose flour

Pizza Dough:
1/2 cup skim milk
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour (reserve 1 tablespoon)
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1/4 teaspoon salt

To prepare the sponge, in large bowl, sprinkle yeast evenly over lukewarm water;
when yeast appears wet, add 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and stir hard to make a
sponge; cover loosely and set aside at room temperature for 40 minutes.
Stir milk into the sponge. In medium bowl combine all-purpose flour, whole-wheat
flour and the salt. Mix well; add flour mixture to the sponge and stir to mix.
Sprinkle work surface with 1 tablespoon reserved flour; turn dough out onto
prepared work surface and knead until it becomes elastic and resilient, about
10-12 minutes.
Spray a large bowl with nonstick cooking spray. Place dough in bowl; cover
loosely with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let rise in a warm, draft-free place
until dough doubles in volume, about 45-60 minutes.
Punch down dough and roll into a circle about 14" in diameter; place on 14" pizza
pan or large baking sheet.
Arrange the toppings of your choice on crust and bake at 500oF for 10 minutes.
