Ingredients:





 1 1/3 c  Lukewarm water; (105 to 110


          -degrees f)


     1 tb Molasses


     1 ts Fresh yeast or 1 package


          -(1/4 oz.) active dry yeast


 2 1/2 tb Salt


 2 1/2 tb Olive oil; plus more for


          -coating


     2 c  Bread flour


 1 1/2 c  Unbleached all-purpose flour


   1/4 c  Whole wheat flour






 In a large bowl, combine the water, molasses, and yeast, and stir gently to


 mix. Set aside for about 5 minutes, until bubbling and foamy. Add the salt


 and olive oil, and stir to mix.


 


 In another bowl, whisk together the flours. Add the flours to the yeast


 mixture and stir with a wooden spoon until a dough forms and pulls away


 from the sides of the bowl. Form the dough into 2 or 6 balls and transfer


 to a lightly oiled bowl. Turn to coat with oil, and then dab about 1 tsp.


 of oil (1/4 tsp. for 6 balls) on top of each ball of dough. Cover the bowl


 with plastic wrap and set aside at warm room temperature for about 20


 minutes.


 


 Prepare a charcoal or gas grill. Position the grilling rack 3 to 4 inches


 from the heat source. The coals should be very hot.


 


 Oil a rimless baking sheet and flatten one ball of dough into a 10- to


 12-inch or 5- to 6-inch round about 1/8 inch thick. While a perfect circle


 is not important, it is important to maintain uniform thickness. Using your


 fingertips, gently lift the dough and drape it onto the grill, guiding it


 carefully onto the rack. Within 1 minute, it will puff slightly, the


 underside will stiffen, and grill marks will appear. Using tongs,


 immediately flip the crust over onto the coolest part of the grill. Brush


 it with olive oil and top as desired. Repeat the procedure with the other


 balls of dough.


 


 Makes two 10- to 12-inch OR six 5- to 6-inch pizzas; serves 6.
