1
Combine oil and water in liquid measuring cup.
-
2
In food processor fitted with plastic dough blade or metal blade, process bread flour, whole wheat flour, sugar, salt, and yeast until combined, about 5 seconds.
-
3
With machine running, slowly add liquid through feed tube; continue to process until dough forms tacky, elastic ball that clears sides of workbowl, about 1 1/2 minutes.
-
4
If dough ball does not form, add more flour 1 tablespoon at a time and process until dough ball forms.
-
5
Spray medium bowl lightly with nonstick cooking spray or rub lightly with oil.
-
6
Transfer dough to bowl and press down to flatten surface; cover tightly with plastic wrap and set in draft-free spot until doubled in volume, 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
-
7
When dough has doubled, press down gently to deflate; turn dough out onto work surface and divide into 4 equal-sized pieces.
-
8
With cupped palm, form each piece into smooth, tight ball.
-
9
Set dough balls on well-floured work surface.
-
10
Press dough rounds with hand to flatten; cover loosely with plastic wrap and let rest about 15 minutes.
-
11
Gently stretch dough rounds into disks about 1/2 inch thick and 5 to 6 inches in diameter.
-
12
Working one piece at a time and keeping the rest covered, roll out each disk to 1/8-inch thickness, 9 to 10 inches in diameter, on well-floured sheet of parchment paper, dusting with additional flour as needed to prevent sticking.
-
13
(If dough shrinks when rolled out, cover with plastic wrap and let rest until relaxed, 10 to 15 minutes.)
-
14
Dust surface of rolled dough with flour and set aside.
-
15
Repeat with remaining dough, stacking sheets of rolled dough on top of each other (with parchment in between) and covering stack with plastic wrap; set aside until grill is ready.
-
16
For Gas Grill: light all burners and turn to high heat, cover grill, and heat grill until hot, about 15 minutes.
-
17
Lightly flour pizza peel; invert 1 dough round onto peel, gently stretching it as needed to retain shape (do not stretch dough too thin; thin spots will burn quickly).
-
18
Peel off and discard parchment; carefully slide round onto hot side of grill.
-
19
Immediately repeat with another dough round.
-
20
Cook until tops are covered with bubbles (pierce larger bubbles with paring knife) and bottoms are grill marked and charred in spots, 1 to 2 minutes; while rounds cook, check undersides and slide to cool area of grill if browning too quickly.
