Instructions

  1. Stir together yeast, water, sugar, and oil. Let sit for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Stir together the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour and salt. Stir in the yeast mixture and continue stirring until you have a tacky dough ball.
  3. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface until you have a smooth dough, adding flour as needed to prevent sticking (5-8 minutes).
  4. Shape the dough into a ball. Coat a large bowl lightly with non-stick cooking spray. Place the dough in the bowl and turn once to coat. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and let it rise in a warm spot until doubled (1-2 hours).
  5. Divide the dough into two equal balls. Coat a baking tray with non-stick cooking spray and place the balls on it, covering with plastic wrap. Let rest for 15 to 20 minutes.
  6. Use dough as directed in your favorite pizza recipe. Dough can be stored, tightly covered in the fridge, for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
