Better Cooking Tips
- Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free spot for the best results.
- Use a pizza stone or a preheated baking sheet for a crispier crust.
Step 1
In a large bowl, mix together the bread flour, all-purpose flour, rye flour, and salt. Pour in the water, olive oil, and yeast, then stir everything with a wooden spoon until you get a sticky, shaggy dough. If it seems too dry, add a tablespoon more water and mix again. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let it sit at room temperature for about 18 hours, or until the dough has more than doubled in size.
Step 2
When it’s ready, gently scrape the dough onto a floured surface and divide it into two pieces. Take one piece and fold each edge toward the center—left, top, right, and bottom—then flip it over so the smooth side is up. Do the same with the other piece.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C). Line a sturdy baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle some cornmeal on top to keep the dough from sticking. Flatten each dough ball gently and stretch it into a rough round or oval shape. Add your favorite toppings, then bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges turn golden and crispy.
