Ingredients
-
2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water (100F-110F)
4 1/2 cups kamut flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup pizza sauce
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, diced
10 basil leaves, torn into small pieces
Preparation
-
Add the yeast to the warm water and let proof about 5-10 minutes, until foamy.
Add flour in 1 cup increments, mixing with a wooden spoon until each cup is fully incorporated.
Place dough on a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes.
Place dough in a lightly oiled large bowl, cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm, draft-free area until doubled (about 90 minutes).
Preaheat oven to 500F and grease a large pizza pan.
Punch down dough and knead in olive oil and salt.
Let dough rest for 5 minutes.
Roll dough out and spread over pizza pan.
Crimp the edges to leave a slight lip.
Spread sauce over pizza, up to 1/2\" of the edges.
Sprinkle mozzarella over sauce and drizzle a little more olive oil over, if desired.
Bake for about 10 minutes, until cheese is bubbly.
Remove from the oven, brush the exposed crust with a little olive oil and sprinkle fresh basil over the cheese.
