Total Time
1 hr
Servings: 2 pizza crusts
Course: Main Course

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups warm water 105-110 degrees F
  • 1 envelope rapid rise yeast
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 ¼ cups white whole wheat flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour plus more, as needed

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine water, yeast, honey and salt in a small bowl; let stand until foamy, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with dough attachment, beat white whole wheat flour, olive oil and water mixture at medium speed until well combined.
  3. Gradually add all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft, smooth ball of dough is formed. The dough should feel elastic and slightly tacky to the touch. Increase speed to medium-high and beat for 5 minutes.
  4. Lightly oil a large bowl or coat with nonstick spray; place dough in bowl, turning to coat. Cover with a clean dishtowel and let stand at room temperature until dough has doubled in size, 30-45 minutes.
  5. Working on a lightly floured surface, divide into 2 equal pieces*; gently knead before using.

Notes

  • *TO FREEZE: Roll into a ball and place dough into separate freezer bags. Place in the freezer for up to 2 months, thawing overnight. Let dough stand at room temperature for 30 minutes prior to assembly.
