How to Make Whole Wheat Pizza Dough

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup warm water (105-115°F), 1 teaspoon sugar, and 2 teaspoons active dry yeast. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups whole wheat flour, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Add more flour as needed to prevent sticking.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
  6. Punch down the dough and divide it in half. Shape each half into a round or rectangular pizza crust.
  7. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place the pizza crusts on pizza stones or baking sheets.
  8. Add your favorite pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
