Yeast Dough

• Mill your hard white and Khorasan (Kamut) wheat berries into flour.
• Place your water, olive oil and honey in a small saucepan on the stove to warm. Heat just until your butter is melted. NOT HOT
• To the bowl of a stand mixer, add the flour, salt and warm liquid. Mix just until all flour is moistened. Let autolyse for 20 minutes.
• After the 20 minute autolyse, add the yeast to your bowl and begin mixing. If using the Ankarsrum mixer, fit with the roller and scraper. You can use the dough hook on other style stand mixers.
• Mix for 6-8 minutes until the dough begins to pull away from the sides and form a ball.
• Cover and proof for 1 hour or until the dough has doubled in size.

  ** I will even make this the day before and allow to bulk ferment in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 12-18 hours.
• After the dough has risen for 1 hour, it is time to shape and add to your 9"x13" pan.
• Line your pan with parchment paper, coming up the sides as well.
• Drizzle olive oil to coat the parchment paper. Use a pastry brush to spread evenly if needed. Approx 2 Tbsp
• Place your dough into the lined pan and stretch to fill the pan.
• Lightly drizzle more olive oil on top of your dough and brush on with a pastry brush to coat.
• Using your fingers, work your dough out to the edges of the pan and leave indentions in the dough approximately an inch apart, covering the entire surface of the dough.
• Cover with plastic wrap and allow dough to proof for 30 minutes while you preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Before baking, top with desired toppings and be sure any fresh herbs and veggies are coated with oil so they will not burn.
• Bake at 400 degrees F for 20 minutes, rotating halfway through if needed.
• Serve warm.
• Reheat in the oven for 5 minutes if cooled and you are wanting to serve at a later time.
• Store covered on the counter for up to 3 days.
***If you allowed your dough to bulk ferment overnight in the refrigerator, press dough into pan, and allow to proof for 2 hours instread of just the 30 minutes recommended above.
