Instructions

Combine the AP flour, the whole wheat flour and yeast. Mix the ingredients together with a whisk and set aside. You may also do this in the bowl of a stand mixer.
Combine the warm water, olive oil, sugar and salt in a liquid measuring cup or another bowl. Stir until the sugar has completely dissolved into the liquid.
Pour the wet ingredients into the flour mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until the mixture begins coming together.
Turn out onto a floured counter and knead for five minutes, working the dough until it is elastic. You may also do this in a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook.
Divide the dough into four evenly sized balls. Splash them with a little bit of olive oil, place them on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Let rise for 45 minutes (or until the dough has doubled in size.)
Once the dough has doubled in size, you may roll out the dough to make a pizza OR freeze it for later.
To make a pizza: Preheat the oven to 425°F. Let the pizza stone (or the pan you'll be using) preheat in the oven, too.
Lightly flour the surface of a flat counter, and roll out a round of pizza dough.
Once the oven and pizza stone are heated, remove the pizza stone from the oven using an oven mitt.
Transfer the pizza dough to the hot pizza stone. Swirl on pizza sauce and any toppings you desire, then transfer into the oven.
Bake the pizza for 10-15 minutes, checking every few minutes to confirm the toppings and crust are not burning.
Once the pizza is cooked through and the dough is crisp, remove from the oven, cut into slices and enjoy warm!
