whole wheat pizza dough recipe

I'm a little obsessed with making pizza lately with homemade whole wheat crust and sauce.



Recipe:

2 C stone ground whole wheat flour
1 packet instant yeast
1 C warm water
1 t salt
olive oil

Get out a 1/2 measuring cup, a mixing bowl and a wooden spoon. Next, I run the tap water on hot until it is hot/warm. I put 1/2 cup of the hot/warm tap water in a bowl with the packet of yeast and wisk. Then I add one cup of whole wheat flour and mix. Then I add another 1/2 cup of warm/hot water and another cup of whole wheat flour. Then I add the salt.

Now gradually add another cup of flour until the dough is moist and movable, but not sticky. Add some olive oil to give the dough a certain hint of specialness. I don't know how much I use maybe 2 T. or maybe 1.5 T, it's hard to tell. I don't douse the dough.

Once the dough is nice and fluffy, I kneed it a little and then set aside for about 10 minutes in a warm place. This will give you time to gather your toppings. Don't forget to preheat the oven to 400 degrees. After 10 minutes, add your toppings, and bake for about 12-15 minutes.
