Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 2 1/2 cups warm water
  • 1 tablespoon instant yeast
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 5 or more cups whole wheat flour (see note - you may need to use upwards of 6 or so, depending on how sticky the dough is)

Instruction

  • In a large bowl or in the bowl of an electric stand mixer fitted with the dough hook, combine the water, yeast, honey, oil and salt. Gradually add the flour until a soft dough is formed. Knead for 5-7 minutes (about 10 minutes if kneading by hand).
  • Transfer the dough to a large bowl lightly greased with cooking spray. Cover with lightly greased plastic wrap (or a lid, if the bowl has one) and refrigerate for 8-24 hours.
  • Remove the bowl 2-3 hours before making pizza. The dough should be at room temperature (it is really hard to roll it out if it is still chilled).
  • Lightly punch down the dough and shape it into pizzas, top with sauce and toppings and bake in a 475 or 500 degree oven on a preheated pizza stone or on a baking sheet (for an in-depth look at baking methods, here is a great tutorial).
