Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, add 1 cup of lukewarm water, ½ teaspoon of sugar, and 2 teaspoons of active dry yeast. Mix until all dissolved. Then add ¼ cup whole wheat flour and ¼ cup of all-purpose flower and whisk together. Set aside, uncovered for about 15 minutes or until frothy.
-
Add 1 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and the rest of both flours (1 cup of all-purpose flour and cup of whole wheat flour, reserving ¼ cup). Mix thoroughly. In a standard mixer with kneading attachment or using hands, knead for 1 minute (or until all dry pieces are gone).
-
Continue kneading until smooth. Cover the bowl and allow dough to rest for 10 minutes and then knead again for 2-3 minutes.
-
Cover bowl with plastic as tight as possible and allow to rest in bowl until mass has doubled from original size. This will usually take about an hour.
-
Preheat oven to 475 degrees with baking pan in oven. Deflate dough using hands and divide dough into desired sizes. Place dough balls on a different baking pan and cover with a damp towel for 10 minutes.
-
Remove one dough ball while keeping others covered flatten into a disk and place in oven on hot baking pan. Once dough is puffy (about 2-3 minutes) flip dough disk over and bake for another minute or two. Remove and allow to cool. Continue same process with the rest of the dough balls.
