Ingredients

• 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
• 2 tablespoons ground flaxseeds
• 1 teaspoon instant yeast
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cups warm water
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon honey (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, ground flaxseeds, instant yeast, and salt. Stir well to combine.

Step 2

Add the warm water, olive oil, and honey (if using) to the dry ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Step 3

Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough back in the mixing bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rest for 10 minutes.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to preheat as well.

Step 6

Roll out the dough into a circle or rectangle, about 12 inches in diameter or to your preferred thickness. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.

Step 7

Using a fork, prick the surface of the dough to prevent bubbles from forming during baking.

Step 8

Carefully slide the parchment paper and dough onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Par-bake the crust for 5-7 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the crust from the oven and add your favorite pizza toppings.

Step 10

Return the topped pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 7-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the toppings are cooked to your liking.

Step 11

Allow the pizza to cool for a minute or two before slicing and serving.
