Ingredients

For the dough:

1 cup warm water

1 tablespoon dry yeast

1 teaspoon honey

1 tablespoon cooking oil (any kind is fine, but I like olive oil)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

1 1/2 cups unbleached flour

Cornmeal

For the sauce:

1/2 cup miso (any variety, but I'm nuts about the red stuff!)

hot water

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/4 cup unbleached flour

1 cup tahini (sesame seed paste)

2 tablespoons good soy sauce

1 onion, chopped fine

5-8 cloves crushed garlic

1 teaspoon dried basil or 2 teaspoons fresh basil

1 teaspoon dried oregano or 2 teaspoons fresh oregano

cayenne pepper, to taste

1/2 cup fresh parsley, snipped fine with scissors.

Directions

Prep times include time for the dough to rise.

Mix the water, yeast, honey, oil, and selt. Let stand until bubbly.

Add 2 1/2 cups of flour and knead until it forms a smooth ball, adding more flour as needed. Depending on the weather and the moisture content of the flour, you may need up to another cup of flour.

Place in a good-sized bowl, cover, and set in a warm place to rise until doubled in bulk, about an hour.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Sprinkle cornmeal on a pizza pan.

Punch down the dough, and stretch and pull it into a vaguely round shape. Place the dough on the pan and stretch it to fill the pan.

Bake for 5 minutes until the crust just starts to firm up and brown.

Combine the miso and hot water to make it easily spreadable. Spread onto the crust and set aside.

Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a sauce pan, add the flour and stir constantly until lightly browned. Add the water, soy sauce, and tahini. Lower heat and simmer.

Heat the remaining oil in a skillet and saute the onions and garlic until translucent. Add the basil, oregano, and cayenne. Stir in the parsley.

Spread over the miso-covered pizza crust and return to the oven for about 5 minutes.
