Figs Pizza Dough
- 14 cup whole wheat flour
- 3 12 cups all-purpose flour, plus additional flour for rolling
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- pizza toppings
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough-hook attachment, combine the whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, yeast, salt, and sugar.
- With the mixer on low speed, gradually add the oil and 1 1/3 cups lukewarm water.
- Knead on low speed until the dough is firm and smooth, about 10 minutes.
- Divide the dough into four balls, each about 7 1/2 ounces.
- Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Place two balls on each sheet, and cover with a damp towel.
- Allow the dough balls to rise in a warm spot until they have doubled in size, about 2 hours.
- Preheat oven with pizza stone to 500.
- To roll out the dough, cover your fingers with flour, then place a ball on a generously floured work surface.
- Press down on the center of the ball with the tips of your fingers, simultaneously stretching the dough out with your hands.
- When the dough has doubled in width, use a floured rolling pin to roll the dough out until it is very thin.
- The outer border should be slightly thicker than the center.
- Transfer the dough on a spatula (allowing the dough to fold up almost like an umbrella) to a pizza peel or another flat, wide surface.
- The dough will be more oval than round.
- If any holes have appeared, pinch them closed.
- Repeat with the remaining balls.
- Slide pizza onto preheated pizza stone.
- Bake until browned, about 6 to 7 minutes.
- Transfer to a firm surface and cut into slices.
- Serve immediately.
- Repeat with remaining dough.
- Preparation time includes rising time.
