Ingredients

• 1 cup Warm water
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 2.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the warm water and active dry yeast. Stir gently and let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until the mixture becomes frothy. This activates the yeast.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt.

Step 3

Add the olive oil and honey to the yeast mixture and stir to combine.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients gradually. Stir with a wooden spoon or mix with your hands until a rough dough forms.

Step 5

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes, until the dough is smooth and elastic. Add small amounts of flour if the dough is too sticky.

Step 6

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a clean, lightly oiled bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap and let the dough rise in a warm place for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 7

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and transfer it back to a floured surface. Divide the dough into 2 equal portions for smaller pizzas or keep it whole for one large pizza.

Step 8

Roll out the dough to your desired thickness and shape using a rolling pin.

Step 9

Transfer the rolled-out dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone lined with parchment paper. Top with your favorite pizza sauces, toppings, and cheeses.

Step 10

Bake in a preheated oven at 475°F (245°C) for 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

Step 11

Remove from the oven, slice, and serve immediately. Enjoy your homemade whole wheat pizza!
