Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Semolina flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 cup Warm water (about 110°F/43°C)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey (or maple syrup for vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- Extra flour (for dusting)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and honey. Stir gently and let it sit for 5–10 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, semolina flour, and salt.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.
Using a wooden spoon or your hands, mix the ingredients together until a rough dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8–10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. Add small amounts of flour as needed to prevent sticking.
Form the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm place for 1–1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release the air. Divide it into two equal pieces if you are making multiple pizzas.
On a floured surface or parchment paper, roll out the dough to your desired thickness and shape.
Transfer the dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet. Add your favorite toppings and bake in a preheated oven at 475°F (245°C) for 8–12 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, slice, and serve. Enjoy your homemade pizza!
