Ingredients

• 2 TBS yeast
• 2 TBS sugar
• 1/4 cup oil (olive oil is a good choice)
• 2 cups warm water
• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 4 cups unbleached white flour
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 jar red sauce (we used Costco's marinara).
• 2 bags Dayia mozzarella-style cheese
• 1/4 cup (or so) corn meal
• 1-2 cans black olives (optional)

Directions  

1. Whisk together: 
   
   • Yeast (2 TBS)
   • Sugar (2 TBS)
   • Oil (1/4 cup)
   • Water (2 cups)
2. Allow this mixture to become active (foamy).
3. Whisk in:
   • Salt (1 tsp)
   • Whole wheat flour (2 cups)
4. Mix in the white flour (4 cups).
5. Knead for 5-10 minutes.
6. Let this rise until doubled (about an hour).
7. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes.
8. Divide the dough into two parts.
9. If using a pizza stone, place the stone in the oven (it needs to be hot before the pizza is placed on it).
10. Turn oven on at 425^o.
11. Roll the dough into a funny shape (if round is "funny") or a shape to fit your pan or stone.
12. If using a stone, place the dough on a tray (like a cookie sheet) which has been generously dusted with corn meal.
13. If not using a pizza stone, place the dough on the pan you'll be using to bake the pizza.
14. Spread the red sauce on the pizzas.
15. Sprinkle one bag of Dayia cheese on each pizza.
16. Add additional toppings (like black olives) as desired.
17. Let pizza dough rise, fully dressed, until the oven is ready.
18. If using a stone, transfer the pizza from the tray to the stone (it should slide right over if the corn meal was applied properly).
19. If not using a stone, place the pan in the oven when the oven is up to temperature.
20. Bake only one pizza at a time.
21. Bake for 12 minutes (or so).  The pizza is done when the bottom of the dough is golden brown.
22. Remove from oven, slice and serve.
