Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
- 1.25 cups Warm water (around 110°F / 43°C)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, instant yeast, and honey. Stir gently and let the mixture rest for 5 minutes until bubbles form on the surface, indicating the yeast is activated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, oregano, basil, and garlic powder.
Add the olive oil to the yeast mixture and stir gently to combine.
Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon or dough hook until a shaggy dough forms.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8–10 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook attachment and knead for 5–7 minutes on medium speed.
Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a clean, lightly oiled bowl. Cover the bowl with a damp kitchen towel or plastic wrap.
Let the dough rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release any air. Divide it into two portions if making two smaller pizzas, or use the entire dough for one large pizza.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness, and it's ready to be topped with your favorite toppings and baked!
