Ingredients

• 1.25 cups Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water and honey. Stir until the honey is fully dissolved.

Step 2

Add the olive oil and active dry yeast to the bowl. Gently stir and let the mixture sit for 5-10 minutes until it becomes foamy, indicating the yeast is activated.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the yeast mixture, stirring with a wooden spoon or using a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook.

Step 5

Continue mixing until the dough comes together and forms a ball. If it's too sticky, add a little more all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.

Step 6

Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 7

Lightly oil a clean bowl, place the dough inside, and cover with a damp cloth or plastic wrap. Allow the dough to rise in a warm, draft-free area for 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.

Step 8

Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into two equal portions for two medium pizzas.

Step 9

Roll out the dough to your desired thickness and shape, then proceed with pizza toppings and baking according to your recipe.
