Amazing Whole Wheat Pizza Crust Recipe

Ingredients

1 teaspoon5 mlWhite sugar
1 1/2 cups360 mlWarm water (110 degrees F / 45 degrees C)
1 tablespoon15 mlActive dry yeast
1 tablespoon15 mlOlive oil
1 teaspoon5 mlSalt
2 cups480 mlWhole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups360 mlAll-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve the sugar in warm water. Sprinkle the yeast over the top and let it sit for about 10 minutes, until foamy.
  2. Add the olive oil and salt to the yeast mixture, then mix in the whole wheat flour and 1 cup of all-purpose flour until the dough starts to come together.
  3. Turn the dough out onto a surface floured with the remaining all-purpose flour and knead until all the flour has been absorbed and the ball of dough becomes smooth, about 10 minutes.
  4. Place the dough in a greased bowl and turn it to coat the surface. Cover loosely with a towel and let it rest in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
  5. When the dough has doubled, tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and divide it into 2 pieces for 2 thin crusts, or leave it whole for one thick crust. Form into a tight ball. Let rise for about 45 minutes, until doubled.
  6. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Roll a ball of dough with a rolling pin until it will not stretch any further. Then drape it over both fists and gently pull the edges outward, while rotating the crust.
  7. When the circle has reached the desired size, place it on a well-greased pizza pan. Top the pizza with your favorite ingredients (sauce, cheese, meats or vegetables).
  8. Bake for 16 to 20 minutes (depending on thickness) in the preheated oven, until the crust is crisp and golden at the edges, and cheese is melted on top.
