🥘 Ingredients

8 items

• 2.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Salt
• 1.25 cups Warm water (about 110°F)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Cornmeal (for dusting)

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.

2. Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the warm water and olive oil. Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough begins to form.

3. Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface. Knead the dough for 8–10 minutes until it is smooth, elastic, and slightly tacky. If the dough is too sticky, add a small amount of all-purpose flour, one tablespoon at a time.

4. Place the dough into a lightly oiled bowl, turning it to coat the surface with oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area for 1–1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.

5. Once the dough has risen, punch it down to deflate. Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and divide it into two equal portions for two 12-inch pizza crusts.

6. Preheat your oven to 500°F (260°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while it preheats. If not, you can use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

7. Roll out one portion of the dough into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Transfer it to a pizza peel dusted with cornmeal, or directly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

8. Add your favorite pizza toppings, leaving about 1 inch of crust around the edges.

9. Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp.

10. Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes before slicing, and enjoy!
