Ingredients
  

Main
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 packet 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup warm water 110°F

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Wooden spoon or spatula
  • Plastic wrap or kitchen towel
  • Oven
  • Pizza stone or baking sheet
  • Rolling pin

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, salt, and yeast.
  2. Make a well in the center and pour in the warm water and olive oil.
  3. Mix until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes.
  5. Place the dough in a greased bowl and cover it with plastic wrap or a towel. Let it rise for about 30 minutes, or until it doubles in size.
  6. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
  7. Once risen, punch down the dough to release air and divide it in half.
  8. Roll each piece out on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
  9. Transfer the shaped dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet and add your favorite toppings.
  10. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Notes

For an extra crispy crust, pre-bake the dough for 5 minutes before adding toppings.
