Pizza, Dough & Sauce, Banker John

The following is an adaptation to a whole grain dough recipes that I found in TheBreadbecker's cookbook, www.breadbeckers.com <http://www.breadbeckers.com> .If you have never tried baking with whole grains, I highly recommend this site foran education.Start with 3 cups of Hard White Wheat berries. Grind berries to make flour (willyield about 5 to 5.5 cups of fresh flour). We use a NutriMill to grind the flour.

********PIZZA DOUGH********
1- 1/3 Cup		Water at 109°F.
1/3 Cup		Olive Oil, Cold Press
1/3 Cup		Honey, clover works well for Pizza dough
1 Tsp		Sea Salt, no anti-caking agents
1 Tbs		Soy Lecithin
2 Tbs		Vital Wheat gluten
5 Cups		Fresh Ground Flour
1 Tbs		Fresh Yeast
*******PIZZA*******
1 Ball		Fresh Milled Whole Wheat Pizza Dough
1 1/2 Cups		Spaghetti Sauce, Ragu Parmesan & Romano
Sliced		Mozzarella Cheese
		Caramelized Onions, Sauted in Butter
		Roasted Garlic
		Shaved Ham
		Crushed Pineapple
		Shredded Asiago Cheese
		Fresh Mozzarella Balls

************DOUGH*********

Mix above ingredients and knead dough about until forming a ball. Coat ball in olive oil and place in large bowl, lightly covered and leave to rest about 30-45 minutes until doubled in size. Punch down dough and separate into 2 balls. Coat balls with olive oil and place in Ziploc bags. Place bags in refrigerator overnight (minimum 12 hours). Remove dough from fridge about 1 hour prior to shaping into pizza.

***********BGE Pizza Set-up***********

Preheat BGE to 500-520. I prefer plate setter with legs down target to stabilize the ceramic mass at the desired temp. Prepare pizza and place on a pizza screen then place on pizza stone. Bake for about 10 minutes. If using meat toppings, make sure they are precooked prior to baking the pizza.

**********PIZZA**********

Shape dough and place on pizza screen. Add sauce then 1/2 sautéed onions & roasted garlic. Place thinly sliced mozzarella cheese to cover. Add remaining roasted garlic and sauteed onions. Continue to top with shredded Asiago cheese then shaved ham, drained pineapple and fresh mozzarella balls. Place in 500 degree preheated Big Green Egg and bake for 10 minutes or until crust is cooked and toppings begin to brown. Let cool 3-5 minutes, slice & serve.
