Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Cornmeal (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the warm water (110°F/45°C) and honey. Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the top and let sit for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Stir to evenly distribute.
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until the dough comes together.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment for 5-6 minutes.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning it to coat the surface with oil. Cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.
Punch down the dough and transfer it to a floured surface. Divide the dough into two equal portions if making two pizzas.
Roll out the dough into your desired pizza shape and thickness. Transfer to a pizza peel dusted with cornmeal, or directly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Top with your favorite pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings.
Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp. If using a pizza stone, transfer the pizza directly onto the stone for even cooking.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few moments, and serve your delicious whole grain pizza!
