• white flour↗1.25 cup
• yeast2.25 teaspoon
• salt↗0.5 teaspoon
• oil2 tablespoon
• warm water (not boiling hot, but warm)1 cup
• whole wheat flour↗1.3333333333333 cup

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Combine the white flour, yeast, and salt in a large mixing bowl . Add the oil and warm water to the mixture and combine with an electric mixer. Mix on high speed for several minutes until a soft, elastic dough forms.

2. 2

   Stir in the whole wheat flour gradually, by hand. When it’s all incorporated, you should be able to easily pick up the dough and knead it gently until you get a soft dough ball. I did this right in the bowl – that’s the benefit of a large mixing bowl ! 🙂

3. 3

   Set aside in a warm place and cover with plastic wrap or even just a dish towel. Let the dough rise for about 10-15 minutes.

4. 4

   Roll out the dough into two 12-inch circles. Poke with forks to prevent bubbling (optional). Place on a baking sheet or if you’re really fancy and cool, a pizza stone. You can add toppings and then bake for about 12-15 minutes, or you can just bake the crust ahead of time and add your toppings later. I liked it best when I baked it with the toppings on it.
