Ingredients

• 3 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 1.5 cups Warm water (110°F/43°C)
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and honey. Stir until the honey dissolves.

Step 2

Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the water mixture and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy. This indicates the yeast is activated.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Gradually mix in the whole wheat flour, one cup at a time, followed by the all-purpose flour. Stir with a wooden spoon or your hands until a rough dough forms.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning it to coat the surface with oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap.

Step 7

Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free spot for 1 to 1.5 hours, or until it has doubled in size.

Step 8

Punch down the dough to release trapped air and divide it into two equal portions if making multiple pizzas.

Step 9

Roll out each portion on a floured surface to your desired pizza crust thickness. Transfer to a pizza stone or baking sheet.

Step 10

Add your favorite toppings and bake in a preheated oven at 475°F (245°C) for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are cooked to your liking.

Step 11

Let the pizza rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
