Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.25 cups Warm water (110°F/45°C)
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1.5 tablespoons Honey (or maple syrup)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, instant yeast, and honey (or maple syrup). Stir lightly and let it sit for 5 minutes until the mixture becomes foamy.
Add the olive oil, salt, and 2 1/2 cups of the whole wheat flour to the bowl. Stir with a wooden spoon until the dough starts to come together.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for about 8-10 minutes, gradually adding the remaining 1/2 cup of flour as needed, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning it to coat all sides with the oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm, draft-free spot for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat up.
Punch down the dough and transfer it to a floured surface. Divide the dough into two equal portions if making two smaller pizzas, or keep it whole for one large pizza.
Roll out the dough into your desired pizza shape (round or rectangular) to about 1/4-inch thickness. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
Add your desired pizza toppings, such as sauce, cheese, vegetables, or proteins, leaving a small border for the crust.
Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are cooked to your liking.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
