Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.25 cups Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and honey. Stir until the honey is fully dissolved.
Add the olive oil and active dry yeast to the bowl. Gently stir and let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy, indicating the yeast is activated.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the yeast mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon or using a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook.
Continue mixing until the dough comes together and forms a ball. If it's too sticky, add a little more all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
Lightly oil a clean bowl, place the dough inside, and cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free area for 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into two equal portions for two medium pizzas.
Roll out the dough to your desired thickness and shape, then proceed with pizza toppings and baking according to your recipe.
