3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup yellow cornmeal
1/4 cup flax seed meal
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup warm water (105°F to 115°F)

1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of the bread flour, the whole wheat flour, cornmeal, flax seed meal, yeast, and salt. Add the water, stirring until combined. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough of the remaining 1/4 to 1/2 cup bread flour to make a moderately soft dough that is smooth and elastic (3 to 5 minutes total).

2. Shape dough into a ball. Place in a lightly greased bowl, turning once to grease surface. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double in size (2 1/2 to 3 hours).

3. Punch dough down. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide dough into two portions. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes. Use as directed in individual pizza recipes.
