Whole Wheat Pizza Dough | Whole wheat Pizza base

This recipe shows how to make another kind of Pizza Base using whole wheat dough.

Ingredients:
 1 tbsp. sugar or honey
 1 1/4 cups warm water (110 degrees)
 1 pack (1/4 ounce) dry yeast
 1 1/4 cups white flour
 2 cups whole wheat flour
 1 teaspoon salt
 1/4 cup olive oil

Method:

• Dissolve sugar in water and add yeast.
• Stir gently until dissolved  (about 1 minute).
• Let stand until the yeast foams slightly  (about 5 minutes) to insure that the yeast is effective.
• Combine 3 cups of the flour and salt in a large bowl.
• Pour in the yeast  mixture and oil if you are using it.
• Begin kneading the mixture, gradually adding enough of the remaining 1/4 cup flour so that the  dough is no longer sticky.
• Continue kneading until the dough is smooth  and elastic (another 10−15 minutes by hand). Shape dough into a ball and put in an oiled bowl, turning the dough to coat it with the oil.
• Let rise until doubled in bulk (45 minutes to 1−1/2 hours, depending on the yeast and the temperature).
• Punch down the dough and shape  into 1 or 2 pieces.
• The entire recipe will make two 12 inch pizzas.
• Shape the dough either by hand or with a rolling pin, stretching out  as necessary to achieve a thin dough.
• For a lighter crust, let the dough sit for a half hour after shaping before constructing pizza and baking.
