Awesome New York Pizza Dough (Using freshly milled grains)

This recipe will make 4 large thin pizza's or 3 large thin pizza's, plus about 10 (garlic) breadsticks

Dry Ingredients:

8 cups Milled Hard White Wheat

NOTE:  In order to get the softest dough, after this is milled, do not mix the flour.  Look at the flour just milled, you will see that mainly in the center of the bowl (if using a nutrimill) is a slightly darker, coarser flour.  You will be able to feel the coarseness, no matter how fine the setting you used.  You will want to remove about 2 to 3 cups of this dark part of the flour and set it aside.  Don't worry, your still going to get tons of nutrients!  Your only removing a portion of the bran, not all of it by any means.  I only do this for bread recipes that require lighter texture, like french breads and pizza crusts ect... 

Down in the rest of the flour bowl, especially around the bottom edges, the softer flour will be caked.  Now you can stir and fluff this all together, along with the flour in the filter cup.  This also is a very fine flour as well (more of the endosperm), and will help to make a softer dough.

1 1/2 TBS yeast

about 8 cups of flour

2 tsp salt

4 TBS Lecithin powder or granules

Wet Ingredients:

1 cup milk

1/8 cup olive oil

1/8 cup  honey (I use sage, it has the mildest flavor as far as honey goes)

2 1/2 cups warm water

2 tsp sucanat, honey or sugar

First, place your warm water in a bowl with the yeast and 2 tsp of sucanat, honey or sugar and let it sit for 5 -10minutes, until frothy.  Mix together all of your dry ingredients in a separate bowl.

While your yeast water is getting ready, put all other wet ingredients in your mixer bowl.  When the yeast is ready, put it in the bowl with your other wet ingredients and start the mixer.  Start adding your dry ingredients.

Add enough flour (dry ingredients) to make a dough that is not too sticky, but not too dry.  You will use almost all of the flour, but it will depend on your climate.  It is a delicate balance, be careful not to add too much flour, or your dough will get tough to spread out.

Mix this until it is well mixed ( about 4-5 minutes total)  Then, let it sit for 30 minutes to rise.  After 30 minutes, punch it down and place it on a floured surface.  Separate it into 4 parts and roll each one out and place on a baking sheet or stone.  I do lightly spray my pizza pans  with spray olive oil.  Apply your own homemade sauce and cheese and toppings and put it is a 400` preheated oven for about 15 minutes.

We like our pizza thin!  If your making a "thicker" crust pizza, roll it out, apply your sauce and put it in the oven for about 8 minutes, then remove it to add your cheese and toppings, then cook it the rest of the way, about 10-15 minutes, until your cheese bubbles and browns a tad.

If you making this with the breadstick option, take the remaining dough and cut it into about 10 strips, flatten each one a bit and then twist them up.  let them rise for 10- 15 minutes near your warmed oven and then baste with your favorite garlic olive oil seasonings.  Bake for 10- 15 minutes.

ENJOY!!
