Rye and Corn Pizza Dough

Hearty rye and corn flours produce a dough that rises and bakes more slowly than conventional pizza dough but with unique results: a very crisp crust that’s deeply flavorful and resists sogginess. Try it with classic tomato sauce and Mozzarella, or play up the rich taste of the rye with tomato-less toppings like Gruyère, bacon, crème fraîche, smoked Gouda or chunks of roast chicken.

Method

Place warm water in a measuring cup, add yeast and syrup, and stir until dissolved.


Let sit until foamy, about 5 minutes.


Transfer to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the dough hook.


Add all-purpose flour, rye flour, corn flour, salt and 1 tablespoon of the oil.


Beat on low speed until a smooth dough forms, about 2 minutes. Alternatively, make dough by hand: In a large bowl, stir together yeast mixture, flours, salt and 1 tablespoon of the oil.


Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead by hand until smooth, 4 to 5 minutes.


Pour remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil into a medium bowl.


Gather dough into a ball and place in the bowl, turning to coat on all sides with oil, then cover the bowl.


Let rise in a warm place until increased in size by about half, 2 to 3 hours, or refrigerate for up to 2 days. If dough was refrigerated, let sit at room temperature for at least 1 hour before forming pizzas.


Divide dough as desired and form into balls; lightly flour the surface if needed to keep dough from sticking.


Roll or press out each ball to desired shape, making it very thin (about 1/4 inch is best) but slightly thicker at the edges.


Let rise in a warm spot until slightly puffy, about 1 hour.


Arrange dough on a baking sheet and top as desired.


Bake in a preheated 375°F oven until deeply browned and crisp, 25 to 35 minutes.
