Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoons Salt
- 2 tablespoons Cornmeal (for dusting)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, honey, and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for 5-10 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
Stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until a dough begins to form. If it's too sticky, add a small amount of flour (1 tablespoon at a time).
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
Lightly oil a large bowl, place the dough in it, and cover with a clean kitchen towel. Let the dough rise in a warm, draft-free area for 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down and place it on a floured surface. Shape it into your desired pizza shape (round or rectangular), then transfer it to a piece of parchment paper lightly dusted with cornmeal.
Add your favorite sauce, toppings, and cheese to the dough.
Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, slice, and enjoy!
