Instructions:
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the active dry yeast, 1/2 cup of whole wheat flour, sugar, honey, olive oil, and 1/2 cup of warm water. Stir well to incorporate all ingredients thoroughly. Allow the mixture to rest for two hours, allowing the yeast to activate and the flavors to meld.
-
After two hours, add the remaining whole wheat flour (3 1/2 cups) and salt to the bowl. Mix until a dough begins to form. If the dough is too sticky, gradually add more flour until it reaches a manageable consistency.
-
Once the dough comes together, transfer it to a clean, floured surface. Knead the dough for ten to fifteen minutes, using the heel of your hand to push and fold the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. The dough should no longer absorb additional flour and should feel springy to the touch.
-
Place the kneaded dough back into the mixing bowl, lightly greased with olive oil. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or plastic wrap, and let the dough rise for two hours in a warm, draft-free area. During this time, the dough should double in size.
-
After the initial rise, punch down the dough to release any air bubbles that may have formed. Divide the dough into three equal portions and shape each portion into a smooth ball. Allow the dough balls to rest for an additional twenty minutes, covered with a kitchen towel.
-
Preheat your oven to 425ยฐF (220ยฐC). While the oven heats up, roll out each dough ball on a floured surface to your desired thickness and shape. Whether you prefer a thin and crispy crust or a thicker, chewy base, tailor the dough to your liking.
-
Once rolled out, transfer the pizza dough to a baking sheet or pizza stone. Add your favorite toppings, from classic marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese to a medley of fresh vegetables and savory meats.
-
Slide the prepared pizzas into the preheated oven and bake for approximately ten minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and crisp, and the toppings are bubbling and delicious.
-
Remove the pizzas from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy the irresistible aroma and flavors of homemade pizza, crafted with love and wholesome ingredients.
