Whole Wheat Pizza Crust

I got this recipe from the lovely Stephanie of NieNie Dialogues. When I saw the recipe, I knew I had to try it! My husband was weary of it at first...just by me saying "Whole Wheat Pizza", he was scared. However, he said that he couldn't tell the difference and that I could keep using that for our pizza crust! I make this with fresh whole wheat ground the very same day- which makes for a very healthy pizza!


Ingredients

2 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
2 1/2 tsp yeast (or one packet)
1 cup warm water
1 tsp salt
2 tbs oil
1/4 tsp sugar

Instructions

Add yeast to cup of warm water. Let sit

Mix dry ingredients together, then add oil. Add yeast mixture and knead for approximately 5 minutes. Let rise for 30-45 minutes.

Preheat oven to 450.

Roll dough out onto a cookie sheet. Cook for 7 minutes (WITHOUT toppings- this helps it so it's not soggy). Take out of oven and add toppings. Cook for 8-10 more minutes.
