Question 1

Can I use active dry yeast?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Simply dissolve it in the cold water and let it sit for 5–10 minutes before mixing it with the flour and salt.

Question 2

Can I make the dough ahead of time?

Accepted Answer

Yep! I actually prefer it. Refrigerating the dough for several hours, or even all overnight, develops even more flavor and creates an even crispier crust.

Question 3

Can I freeze the dough?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After dividing the dough into balls, lightly oil each one and place them in freezer-safe bags or containers. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then let the dough sit at room temperature for about an hour before shaping.

Question 4

What wheat works best?

Accepted Answer

I highly recommend hard white wheat. It creates a lighter, milder-tasting crust while still giving you all the nutrition and flavor of freshly milled whole grain flour.
