100% Whole Wheat Pizza Crust

Ingredients:

1 c. warm water

1 Tbsp. honey

2 1/4 tsp. yeast

1 Tbsp. olive oil

2 1/2 c. whole wheat flour

1 tsp. salt

Directions:

In a medium bowl, dissolve yeast and honey in warm water (105-115 degrees). Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes. Add flour, olive oil and salt into mixer or knead by hand until dough is well combined. With floured hands, transfer dough to a floured countertop. Knead with hands 3 or 4 times then roll into a ball. Place into an oiled bowl and cover with a clean towel until the dough has doubled in size. When ready to bake, preheat oven to 350 degrees F. and roll dough into a 12 inch round. Spread with sauce and toppings of choice. Bake for 16-20 minutes until crust is baked through. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes before slicing. This recipe can be doubled and the dough ball can be frozen.
