I used 4 cups all-purpose flour and two cups home-milled red wheat and I have to say this is the BEST pizza dough I've baked yet! I topped it with salami, smoked gouda and home marinara and that too was divine. Excellent recipe, this one is going in my favorites under 'Best of The Best Bakes'. Cheers!

@prettybones8 That's great to hear! Glad to know you enjoyed my recipe!

Recipe sound very good, but i was wondering how much "a cup " is if you converted it into grams...

and i am following the discussion regarding the sugar / no sugar, any news yet ?

[magicmn717]

@Cocalibra 1 cup is 125 grams of flour. I usually go by weight, but this recipe I have made so many times I don't measure anything anymore. I just use a random amount of water and add flour to the right consistency.

I have not gotten anywhere with the no sugar. I use cake yeast often, which requires none of this. That is harder to find though. For the active dry yeast, I tried adding the sugar straight to the flour but it didn't seem to rise like it does when I "proof" it w/sugar in water.

[RFinkle2]

Sugar should never be added directly to yeast. Yeast cannot feed on sucrose (table sugar); in fact, it will retard the action of the yeast in the dough. I don't know why there are so many recipes out there stating that yeast needs to be 'proofed' with sugar.

[magicmn717]

@RFinkle2 Could you please explain more? That really interests me? Without the sugar my dough has no life and limited rise. What do you recommend instead of adding sugar to the yeast?

[manholewisdom]

cooking with water heated from a hot water heater is not safe. the anode rod in the hot water heater leaves metals in the water that can make you ill.
