WHOLE WHEAT PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 425 F.
• To prepare your pizza dough, gently stir the whole wheat flour and then lightly spoon it into a measuring cup and level it off to get an exact measurement.
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the measured whole wheat flour with the dry yeast and salt.
• Blend in the hot (but not boiling) water, oil, and honey or sugar. Stir by hand vigorously until all of the ingredients are well mixed (this should take you at least 3 minutes).
• Cover your dough with plastic wrap and let rise to the desired size (at least 5 to 10 minutes).
• Place the dough in greased 15 x 10 x 1-inch jelly-roll pan or 12- to 14-inch pizza pan.
• Gently press the dough to get it to fully cover the bottom of the pan and up the sides in order to form a rim which will become the edge of the crust.
• Add pizza sauce of your choice and your favorite pizza toppings.
• Bake your homemade pizza in your pre-heated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are done cooking.
