  • Prep 15 min
  • Total 1 hr 30 min
  • Servings 1

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, plus more for dusting
  • 2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon sugar

Steps

  • 1
    In a small bowl, combine yeast, water and 1 tsp sugar. Let sit for five minutes.
  • 2
    In a large bowl or the bowl of a stand mixer, combine 2 cups flour, salt and remaining sugar. Make a well in the center and add yeast mixture and olive oil.
  • 3
    Stir using the paddle attachment or a spoon until the dough just comes together, then knead, either by hand or in a stand mixer fixed with the dough hook, for about 5 minutes (3-4 minutes if using stand mixer). Add remaining flour in 1 tbsp increments just until dough pulls away from sides of the bowl or is no longer sticky.
  • 4
    Shape dough into a ball, place in a lightly greased bowl and cover with lightly greased plastic wrap to rise until doubled, about 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • 5
    Punch down risen dough, shape into a ball and place on a lightly floured pizza stone. Roll out into a circle of desired crust thickness and let rest about 10 minutes (at this time you can put on your desired toppings).
  • 6
    Preheat oven to 500°F. Place pizza in oven and bake about 10-15 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and toppings are baked. Let pizza rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.
