Rye and Corn Pizza Dough
- 1 cup warm water (about 110°F)
- 1 (1.0-ounce) package (1-ounce) active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon barley malt syrup or honey
- 1 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 cup rye flour
- 3/4 cup corn flour (not cornmeal)
- 1 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- Pizza toppings as desired
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.
