Ingredients
- 1½ cups whole wheat flour
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
Directions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water and honey. Stir until the honey is dissolved.
- Sprinkle the yeast over the water mixture and let it sit for 5 minutes or until foamy.
- Add the olive oil and salt to the bowl and stir to combine.
- Add the whole wheat flour and half of the all-purpose flour to the bowl. Stir until well combined.
- Gradually add the remaining all-purpose flour, ¼ cup at a time, until the dough comes together and forms a ball.
- Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, adding more flour if necessary, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
