Whole Wheat Pizza Crust


I didn't make up this recipe but it makes an easy and delicious whole wheat pizza crust!

Ingredients:

1 or 2 c. white flour (enough to make a stiff dough)
2 c. whole wheat flour
1 pkg. or 1 tbsp. active dry yeast
3/4 tsp. salt
1 c. warm water
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. honey

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425°F before baking. Pour flour into a large mixing bowl. Add yeast and salt. Mix well. Add water, oil and honey; mix well.

Knead dough for 6 minutes on a lightly floured surface, adding sufficient flour to make a stiff dough. Dough may be slightly sticky. Oil your hands with olive oil to keep from sticking while kneading.

Cover with a moist cloth and place in a warm spot for 30 minutes to rise. Punch down and press into a greased 14 inch pizza pan or a 10 inch pan for a thicker crust.

Spread sauce and other ingredients on pizza crust. Bake in a preheated 425°F for 15 to 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese is melted.

Notes:When I put this recipe in the Recipe Builder I got 5 points for 1/8 of the crust and that is a very nice size piece of pizza.
