My first thought when I read this recipe is that they didn’t include how warm to heat the milk mixture, which would have been an issue when I was a new cook. Too hot will kill the yeast, too cold will not activate it. Active dry yeast likes temperatures of 100-110 F, so check for that before adding your yeast.
How could I freeze these?
Easy and turned out crispy and yummy!
My dough didnt rise and I followed this exactly
Hi,
Could I use all spelt flour instead of all purpose and whole wheat?
Delicious crust! Nice and crispy on the bottom. I par-baked it for only 7 minutes, and then baked it 13 minutes with the toppings on it. This will be my new ‘go to’ pizza crust. I can’t wait to make it again. The sponge method for the dough is time consuming, but definitely worth it!
Since when is all purpose flour a Whole Food???
It’s not. But, from what I’ve seen, FOK recipes tend to be less about religious-fundamentalist-style adherence to absolutes, and more about maximizing the use of whole foods while creating recipes that appeal to a broad category of people (i.e. not serving a cheeseless veggie pizza, already a stretch for many, on a crust that amounts to a whole-wheat frisbee).
So maybe not strictly WFPB, but still miles better for you than AP flour, oil, and too much salt.
We all loved this. I use it now for all of my FOK pizza recipes.
Great recipe but find tweaks that work for you! I always add cornmeal to the bottom of my pan before rolling the dough out. Also, I found that 15 min for the partake was entirely too long and resulted in tough, hard, overbaked crust. I partake for 8 min and then bake my pizza for about 10. It’s a very good tasting crust! We’ve made it several times and it continues to be a favorite in our weekly rotation!
These are very good. They work! I like to add herbs like Rosemary! Mmmm!!!
