Homemade Pizza Dough

• 2/3 cup warm water
• 1 1/8 teaspoon yeast
• 1 1/2 cup sifted whole wheat flour (more if needed)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 tablespoon salt
• cornmeal

Combine water and yeast in a large bowl and let dissolve, about 5 minutes.  Add flour, oil and salt and knead on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until dough is smooth and elastic.  Transfer the dough to a bowl lightly coated with olive oil and turn it once to coat with oil.  Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, 1 1 1/2 hours.

Preheat oven to 475F and place a baking stone in the oven.

Punch down the dough and roll into a ball and let rest, loosely covered for 10-15 minutes.  Flatten on a parchment covered rimless baking sheet, lightly floured with cornmeal.  Form into a 12-inch round, rolling and stretching the dough.  Put on desired toppings, and slide pizza and parchment paper onto the stone and bake for about 10 minutes.
