Whole-Wheat Pizza

Whole-wheat pizza dough for two 12” pizzas

1 tablespoon sugar

1 1/4 cups warm water

1 package active dry yeast

1 1/4 cups unbleached flour

2 cups whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 cup olive oil

Dissolve sugar in water. Add yeast. Stir for 1 minute and let stand for 5. Combine flours. Combine 3 cups of the flour mixture and salt in a large bowl. Pour in yeast mixture and oil. Knead mixture, gradually adding enough of the remaining flour so dough is no longer sticky.

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, 45-55 minutes, in a warm (not hot) draft-free place. Punch down dough and divide into two pieces. Shape dough by hand or with rolling pin, stretching out to two  thin 12” diameter circles.

Add your favorite sauce, cheese and toppings. Bake 10-12 minutes at 400 degrees.
