INGREDIENTS:
1kg/8 cups Le 5 Stagioni Mora Whole Wheat Flour
700ml/ 3 cups water (room temperature)
4g/0.15g fresh yeast
25g/4 teaspoons salt
1 x cup semolina (optional)
METHOD:
STEP ONE: HOW TO MAKE THE SOURDOUGH
To make whole wheat pizza dough, you start with the sourdough component.
Pour the Mora flour into a large mixing bowl, break up the yeast and drop it in.
Put on a pair of gloves and mix 500ml of the water into the flour. As you mix it with your hands, it will become darker in colour and you will start to see grains.
Once combined, cover this with plastic wrap, and let it rest for 10hr.
Once the sourdough is ready, it will be fluffy and have bubbles.
STEP TWO: MAKING THE WHOLE WHEAT PIZZA DOUGH
For the next step in making the whole wheat pizza dough, add 500g of flour and 3g of yeast, to the (now rested) sourdough, with your hands.
Next, incorporate half of the remaining water(100ml) and start mixing it through so it combines.
When most of the flour is mixed in, add 25g salt, the rest of the water, then mix once again.
Sprinkle some flour on your bench, take the dough from the bowl and knead it by rolling it back and forth on your bench over the flour.
Once it is smooth, shape the dough into a ball, put it in a bowl and cover it before leaving it to rest for 20-30 minutes.
STEP THREE: MAKING THE PIZZA BALLS
Sprinkle flour on the bench, put the whole wheat pizza dough on top. Break a piece off and weigh it until it is 270g/9.5oz.
Make a ball with the dough by shaping it in your hand, passing it from one to another, folding in under with your fingers then repeating this step.
Once you have done this a few times, squeeze the bottom together then roll it on your palm to create a ball shape.
Leave the whole wheat pizza dough balls to rest for 5hr - 6hr.
1kg of flour should make 7 pizza balls.
Sprinkle semolina on your bench, then gently place the dough on top and stretch out the pizza making sure to keep a crust all the way around.
Now shape the pizza using both your hands and twisting them in an almost-circular motion.
Once you have created a base, add tomato pulp and put it in the oven at 360ׄ°C/680°F for a few minutes.
E ora si mangia, Vincenzo’s Plate…Enjoy!
