Ingredients

  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, yeast, and salt.
  2. In a small bowl, dissolve the honey in warm water.
  3. Slowly pour the honey water mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring to combine.
  4. Add the olive oil and continue to mix until a dough forms.
  5. Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes, until it becomes smooth and elastic.
  6. Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover it with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour, or until it doubles in size.
  7. After the dough has risen, punch it down to release the air and divide it into two equal portions.
  8. Roll out each portion into a round shape to create your pizza crust.
  9. Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
  10. Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a baking sheet or pizza stone.
  11. Add your desired toppings and bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are fully cooked.
  12. Remove from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, and enjoy your homemade whole wheat and honey pizza!
