What you need:
* 2 c. whole wheat flour
* 1 pkg. active dry yeast/instant yeast
* 3/4 tsp. salt
* 1 c. hot tap water (120-125°F)
* 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil (canola or olive oil work well too)
* 1 Tbsp. honey or granulated sugar
* 1 Tbsp. gluten (opt.)
* 1 pkg. active dry yeast/instant yeast
* 3/4 tsp. salt
* 1 c. hot tap water (120-125°F)
* 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil (canola or olive oil work well too)
* 1 Tbsp. honey or granulated sugar
* 1 Tbsp. gluten (opt.)
What to do:
1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
2. To prepare pizza dough, stir whole wheat flour; lightly spoon into a measuring cup and level flour.
3. In large mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, yeast and salt. Blend in water, oil and honey or sugar. Stir by hand vigorously until all ingredients are well-mixed; about 3 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise to desired size.
4. Place dough in greased 15 x 10 x 1-in. jelly-roll pan or 12 to 14-in. pizza pan. Press dough to cover bottom of pan and up sides to form a rim.
5. Add pizza sauce of your choice and your favorite pizza toppings; bake in oven 15 to 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown and toppings are done.
Notes
* Rising and baking times may be extended.
* Some people prefer to "prebake"
the crust for about 3 minutes before adding the toppings.
* Crust will be "crispier" than if not prebaked.
* The optional ingredient, gluten, may be added to help the dough rise resulting in a thicker, chewier crust.
* Nutritional analysis for 1 slice of crust only.
