Pizza Day!

Rolling Out the Dough

Eating the pizza
Yum!
Make your own pizza

Honey Wheat Pizza Dough


1 1/2 cup water, warmed to 110-120°F
1 packet active dry yeast
1 teaspoon sugar
3 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 cup honey (it is up to you how sweet you want it)
4 cloves garlic, minced (optional)
2 tablespoons olive oil

1. Lightly coat a large bowl with olive oil and set aside.
2. Combine the water and yeast in a small bowl and set aside.
3. Combine flours, sugar and salt in a large bowl.
4. Add the yeast mixture, honey, oil and garlic, stir until dough begins to form -- it will be slightly sticky. If it is flakey and not sticking together, then add a little bit of hot water until the dough is easily kneadable.
5. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and knead until dough is smooth but still tacky -- about 10 minutes.
6. Form the dough into a ball and transfer it to the prepared bowl, turning to coat all sides. Cover with a clean, damp kitchen towel and let rise in a warm, draft-free place until the dough doubles in volume.
7. Stick in the refrigerator overnight for some very yummy dough! (optional) You can make the pizza right away if you want.

8. Punch the dough down, remove from the bowl, and let dough rest for 5 minutes. Divide the dough in half and turn one piece out onto a lightly floured surface and roll into desired shape and size.
