Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 0.75 cups Warm water (100-110°F)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast and honey in the warm water. Let the mixture sit for about 5-10 minutes, or until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt.
Once the yeast mixture is frothy, add it to the dry ingredients along with the olive oil.
Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, add a small amount of additional flour, one tablespoon at a time.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise for 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat as well.
Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to a floured surface. Roll or stretch it into your desired pizza shape (usually 12-14 inches in diameter).
Transfer the crust to a piece of parchment paper or a lightly greased pizza pan.
Add your favorite toppings and bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and cooked through.
Remove from the oven, slice, and serve hot.
