EAT AND ADD SALT AFTER DOUG ====

DOUGH: Measure 1/2 c warm water in a bowl. Add sugar

and yeast and stir to dissolve. Let stand at least 5

minutes to proof (froth forms on top). Meanwhile, sift

together into a large bowl the white flour, wheat flour,

corn meal and salt. Make a depression in the middle and

add 3 Ts of the olive oil and 1 c warm water.

Add yeast mixture. Mix all ingredients with your hands and

gather together and place on floured board. Knead about 10

minutes, adding more flour if dough is sticky, to form a

smooth, elastic mass. Grease a large bowl with olive oil.

Add dough, turning it to coat top. Cover and let rise in

warm place, draft-free location until doubled in size (45

minutes for fast rising yeast, 1 1.2 hours for regular).

While dough is rising make sauce by melting butter in a

saute pan. Add garlic and saute for one minute. Add

tomatoes and cook 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Add

cream, basil and oregano and bring to a boil, remove from

divide into 6 equal pieces and, on floured surface, roll

out to desired shape about 1/2 inch thick. Coat both sides

of shaped crust with olive oil, then place on grill

directly over fire until upper surface begins to bubble

(about 2 minutes). Fire must be very hot and grill must be

clean (coals should be red with a small flame, like a

steak fire; this is important). Watch crust closely and

rotate with spatula if necessary. Remove crust and turn

cooked side up (it should be golden brown). Brush with

olive oil, sauce, cheese and desired toppings. Sprinkle

some olive oil over each pizza. Return for final cooking

(2-4 minutes), rotating for even cooking.
