Pizza Dough
1. In a small bowl combine 2⁄3 cup warm water (105°F to 115°F) and 1 package active dry yeast, stirring to dissolve yeast. Let stand for 5 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon honey and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl combine 3⁄4 cup white whole wheat flour, 1⁄4 cup cornmeal, and 1⁄4 teaspoon salt. Stir in yeast mixture. Stir in as much of the 3⁄4 to 1 cup all-purpose flour as you can with a wooden spoon.
3. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough of any remaining all-purpose flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (6 to 8 minutes total). Shape dough into a ball. Place in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to grease surface. Cover and let rise in a warm place until nearly double in size (30 to 45 minutes). Punch dough down. Turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
