whole wheat pizza dough

 

Ingredients:

1 cup warm water (around 110 degrees)

1 teaspoon honey

1 teaspoon fast rise yeast

360g (about 2 2/3 cups) white whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon Kosher salt

1 teaspoon olive oil 

Instructions: 

Pour water into liquid measuring cup; add honey and sprinkle with yeast. Let stand for 10 minutes or until frothy. 

Combine flour & salt in bowl of a stand mixer fitted with dough hook. Add yeast water and mix on low speed until combined. Add olive oil and continue mixing until blended. Knead dough on medium-low speed 5 minutes or until dough forms a smooth, elastic ball. 

Place ball of dough into an oiled bowl and turn to coat (or use cooking spray). Cover bowl with plastic wrap or moist dish cloth. Let rise for 30 minutes in a warm area free from drafts (a barely warm oven, turned off, with a steaming cup of water inside & door closed works great).

Makes: 1 extra-large or 2 medium pizzas
