Share on Facebook Print Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbls. sugar or honey
  • 1 ¼ cups warm water 110 degrees
  • 1 pack 1/4 ounce dry yeast
  • 1 ¼ cups white flour
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup olive oil

Instructions

  • Dissolve sugar in water and add yeast. Stir gently until disssolved (about 1 minute). Let stand until the yeast foams slightly
  • (about 5 minutes) to insure that the yeast is effective. Combine 3 cups of the flour and salt in a large bowl. Pour in the yeast
  • mixture and oil if you are using it. Begin kneading the mixture, gradually adding enough of the remaining 1/4 cup flour so that the dough is no longer sticky. Continue kneading until the dough is smooth and elastic (another 10−15 minutes by hand). Shape dough into a ball and put in an oiled bowl, turning the dough to coat it with the oil.
  • Let rise until doubled in bulk (45 minutes to 1−1/2 hours, depending on the yeast and the temperature). Punch down the dough and shape into 1 or 2 pieces. The entire recipe will make two 12 inch pizzas. Shape the dough either by hand or with a rolling pin, stretching out
  • as necessary to achieve a thin dough. For a lighter crust, let the dough sit for a half hour after shaping before constructing pizzaand baking.
