A few weeks ago I posted about the trouble I had with 100% whole wheat pizza crust. I've been tweaking the recipe since then, so I think it's time for an update. The summary is that the most recent recipe works pretty well.. as long as I don't let the dough get over-proofed. Decent structure, crumb, and taste. The big innovation isn't too surprising: Adding vital wheat gluten to strengthen the dough.

The recipe for two NY-style pizzas: 562 grams home-milled white whole wheat flour, 370+ grams water, 120 grams ripe sourdough starter, 28 grams vital wheat gluten, 19 grams olive oil, 11 grams salt, and 6 grams sugar. Optional: Half a teaspoon each of onion and garlic powder. Knead, divide, 72 hour proof in the fridge, bring to room temp, shape, top, and bake (preheated to 550°F then switched to broil, baked 5 minutes on steel).

Pictured here: Kale, potato, red onion, and fennel seed.

I'm not bitching I'm joking.

I fucking love pizza.

I developed a wheat allergy in my 30s, now all the tasty shit tries to kill me by closing up my esophagus. It's not a choice, it's super annoying and really inconvenient, you quickly learn that everything that's convenient or delicious contains some kind of wheat.

You can just use some weird combinations of other flours instead like rice flour, but it's a pain in the ass to make and get right, and won't taste the same. I'm on a mission to find a wheat free pizza that tastes as close as possible to a real one.
