Ingredients

  • teaspoons active dry yeast or 1 envelope
  • 1/2 teaspoon honey
  • 1 cup warm water 110-115 degrees F.
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • cups unbleached all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  • In the bowl of your mixer (fitted with a dough hook) add the honey, warm water and stir to dissolve.
  • Sprinkle the yeast over top and let it bloom for 5 minutes or so.
  • Add in the olive oil and turn your mixer on low. Gradually add in the flours, increasing the speed as you go.
  • Season the dough with kosher salt and continue to mix the dough until it forms a ball along the side of the mixing bowl.
  • Remove the dough and form a smooth ball. Toss the dough in a well oiled bowl coating it and the sides of the bowl. Cover with a clean towel and place the bowl in a warm, dry place to rise for 1 hour.
  • Use your hands to press the gas out of the dough and roll into desired pizza sizes.
  • This dough will make one regular large pizza or two thin-crust medium size pizzas.

Notes

I usually bake my pizzas at 450° for 15 to 20 minutes but follow the recipe for the pizza you are making.
