Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 1 ½ cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Pour warm water into a large bowl; stir in sugar to dissolve. Sprinkle yeast on top and let stand until foamy
- about 10 minutes.
- Stir olive oil and salt into yeast mixture; mix in whole wheat flour and 1 cup all-purpose flour until dough starts to come together. Turn dough out onto a surface floured with remaining all-purpose flour; knead until all of the flour has been absorbed and dough becomes smooth
- about 10 minutes. Place dough in an oiled bowl and turn to coat the surface. Cover loosely with a towel; let stand in a warm place until doubled in size
- about 1 hour.
- Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface; divide into 2 pieces for 2 thin crusts
- or leave whole to make one thick crust. Form dough into a tight ball; place dough back into an oiled bowl and turn to coat the surface. Cover loosely with a towel; let stand in a warm place until doubled in size
- about 45 minutes.
- Grease a large pizza pan. Roll a ball of dough with a rolling pin until it will not stretch any further. Then
- drape it over both of your fists
- and gently pull the edges outward
- while rotating crust. When the circle has reached the desired size
- place on the prepared pizza pan.
