Pizza dough

  • 2 tsp active dry yeast
  • 1 tsp white sugar
  • 1 1/4 cups warm water + 1 tbsp when it's too dry in the bowl
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp salt
  • 1/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 1/4 cup bread flour
  1. In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast and sugar in the warm water. Let sit until creamy; about 10 minutes.
  2. Stir the olive oil, both flours, and salt into the yeast mixture with a little spatula. When the dough has pulled together, knead it in the mixer about 10 minutes, until it's smooth and elastic. Lightly oil a large mixing bowl, place the dough in the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and put in a warm place to rise until doubled in volume; about 1 hour. At this point, you can stick it in the fridge for later.
  3. Deflate the dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide the dough into two equal pieces and form into rounds. Cover the rounds and let them rest for about 10 minutes.
  4. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough into a pizza crust. It should be pretty thin -- it will rise a lot.
Note: Oil the pan before putting the rolled-out dough into it. Otherwise it will burn and stick.
