From Country Living
This recipe has been tested by Country Living

Invite a few friends to sample just-baked pizzas. Plan ahead by mixing dough in the morning and letting it rise, refrigerated, all day long.

INGREDIENTSconv. chartU.S.Metric
1 1/2 cup(s)water, warmed to 110°F
2 1/4 teaspoon(s)(1 packet) active dry yeast
1 teaspoon(s)sugar
3 1/2 cup(s)all-purpose flour
1/2 cup(s)whole-wheat flour
1/4 cup(s)cornmeal
2 teaspoon(s)salt
1/4 cup(s)honey
2 tablespoon(s)whole milk

DIRECTIONS

  1. Make the dough:
    Lightly coat a large bowl with olive oil and set aside. Combine the water, yeast, and sugar in a small bowl and set aside. Combine flours, cornmeal, and salt and sift together into a large bowl. Add the yeast mixture, honey, and milk and stir until dough begins to form -- it will be slightly sticky. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead until dough is smooth but still tacky -- about 10 minutes. Form the dough into a ball and transfer it to the prepared bowl, turning to coat all sides. Cover with a clean, damp kitchen towel and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until the dough doubles in volume -- about 90 minutes. Punch the dough down, remove from the bowl, and let dough rest for 5 minutes. Divide the dough in half and turn one piece out onto a lightly floured surface and roll into desired shape and size. Lightly brush the dough's surface with olive oil, top, and bake at 500°F for about 10 minutes. Repeat with remaining dough.
And music to cook to!
