    Ingredients

    • 1 1/3 c. Lukewarm water, (105 to 110 degrees f)
    • 1 Tbsp. Molasses
    • 1 tsp Fresh yeast or possibly 1 package (1/4 ounce.) active dry yeast
    • 2 1/2 Tbsp. Salt
    • 2 1/2 Tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil, plus more for coating
    • 2 c. Bread flour
    • 1 1/2 c. Unbleached all-purpose flour
    • 1/4 c. Whole wheat flour

    Directions

    1. In a large bowl, combine the water, molasses, and yeast, and stir gently to mix. Set aside for about 5 min, till bubbling and foamy. Add in the salt and extra virgin olive oil, and stir to mix.
    2. In another bowl, whisk together the flours. Add in the flours to the yeast mix and stir with a wooden spoon till a dough forms and pulls away from the sides of the bowl. Form the dough into 2 or possibly 6 balls and transfer to a lightly oiled bowl. Turn to coat with oil, and then dab about 1 teaspoon of oil (1/4 teaspoon for 6 balls) on top of each ball of dough. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and set aside at hot room temperature for about 20 min.
    3. Prepare a charcoal or possibly gas grill. Position the grilling rack 3 to 4 inches from the heat source. The coals should be very warm.
    4. Oil a rimless baking sheet and flatten one ball of dough into a 10- to 12-inch or possibly 5- to 6-inch round about 1/8 inch thick. While a perfect circle is not important, it is important to maintain uniform thickness. Using your fingertips, gently lift the dough and drape it onto the grill, guiding it carefully onto the rack. Within 1 minute, it will puff slightly, the underside will stiffen, and grill marks will appear. Using tongs, immediately flip the crust over onto the coolest part of the grill. Brush it with extra virgin olive oil and top as desired. Repeat the procedure with the other balls of dough.
    5. Makes two 10- to 12-inch Or possibly six 5- to 6-inch pizzas; serves 6.
