Ingredients

Directions

Combine 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, rye flour, and salt in a bowl.

Pour 1/2 cup water into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir brown sugar into water until dissolved; add yeast and stir. Let mixture stand until bubbling, about 10 minutes.

Add yeast mixture to flour mixture.

Pour remaining 1 cup water into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds. Stir olive oil into warm water; pour over flour mixture. Knead flour mixture, adding more all-purpose flour if dough is sticky, until dough is smooth and holds together.

Form dough into a ball and place in a bowl. Cover bowl with a damp towel and let rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.

Punch down dough and transfer to a floured work surface. Roll or shape dough into desired shape.

Cook’s Note

Instead of using a tomato sauce base, try brushing olive oil on the dough before you add your toppings.

Add your favorite pizza toppings and cook in a 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) preheated oven until cheese is browned, about 15 to 18 minutes.
