Whole-Wheat Pizza Dough

Great dough recipe! I have made this dough twice, and the pizzas have been a hit with our whole family. Tonight I used the Spicy version of the Basic Pizza Sauce (September 2006), and it was perfect with this dough! I didn't have trouble with the rise time; I preheated the oven for 1 minute (and then turned it off immediately) and then let the dough rise inside.

This is my primary pizza dough recipe. I use all white whole wheat flour typically, although I probably started with the specified white to wheat ratio. I think a thoroughly preheated pizza stone is key for good crusts in general, and I have the best luck with stretching and rolling the dough onto parchment paper circles, then topping and baking on the paper. Adding cornmeal to the paper first is a nice touch. We love this recipe!
