Smoky Burnt Wheat Pizza (Puglia Style)

The story of 'Grano Arso' (burnt wheat) speaks to the ingenuity of Puglian farmers. After the harvest, they would collect the scorched grains left behind from burning the stubble and grind them into flour. Today, this flour is a delicacy, imparting a nutty, smoky, coffee-like aroma to the dough. Since it has low gluten content, it is always mixed with white flour.

Instructions

1 ✓

Mix the two types of flour together. Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water, then pour it into the flour along with the oil. Begin to knead.

Tip: The gluten structure in toasted flour is damaged, so the white flour is essential to hold the dough together.
2 ✓

Once the dough comes together, add the salt and knead for 10-15 minutes until elastic and smooth. Let it rise for 1 hour.

Tip: Salt tightens gluten, so add it only towards the end of mixing.
3 ✓

Preheat the oven to 425-475°F (220-250°C). Stretch the risen dough to fit your baking sheet.

Tip: Dust your surface with flour, as this dough can be a bit stickier than usual.
4 ✓

Spread with tomato sauce and top with cheese. Bake in the hot oven for about 15-18 minutes.

Tip: Because of the dark flour, it's harder to see when it browns. Watch for the cheese melting and the edges becoming crisp.
5 ✓

Serve with fresh basil.

Tip: The aromatic herb pairs perfectly with the smoky flavor of the crust.
