100% Whole Grain Rustic Bread and Pizza Dough image

Yield makes 2 to 3 rustic loaves or 5 pizzas

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 1/3 cups (24 oz / 680 g) whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons (0.5 oz / 14 g) salt, or 1 tablespoon coarse kosher salt
1 1/4 teaspoons (0.14 oz / 4 g) instant yeast; for pizza use 1 teaspoon (0.11 oz / 3 g)
3 tablespoons (1.5 oz / 43 g) sugar, or 2 tablespoons honey or agave nectar
2 1/3 cups (19 oz / 539 g) water; for pizza, use 2 1/4 cups (18 oz / 510 g)
3 tablespoons (1.5 oz / 43 g) olive oil

Steps:

To make bread using this recipe, follow the instructions for pain à l'ancienne (page 52), adding the sugar at the beginning of the process. To make pizza dough, follow the instructions for neo-Neopolitan pizza dough (page 67), again adding the sugar at the beginning of the process.
You can make a multigrain variation using 80 percent whole wheat flour and 20 percent (by weight) other whole grain flours in any combination. Just be sure the total weight still adds up to 24 ounces (680 g). Also, reduce the water by 1 ounce (28.5 g).
