Steps:
- In a large bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water. Sprinkle yeast over the top, and let stand for about 10 minutes, until foamy.
- Stir the olive oil and salt into the yeast mixture, then mix in the whole wheat flour and 1 cup of the all-purpose flour until dough starts to come together. Tip dough out onto a surface floured with the remaining all-purpose flour, and knead until all of the flour has been absorbed, and the ball of dough becomes smooth, about 10 minutes. Place dough in an oiled bowl, and turn to coat the surface. Cover loosely with a towel, and let stand in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
- When the dough is doubled, tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and divide into 2 pieces for 2 thin crust, or leave whole to make one thick crust. Form into a tight ball. Let rise for about 45 minutes, until doubled.
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Roll a ball of dough with a rolling pin until it will not stretch any further. Then, drape it over both of your fists, and gently pull the edges outward, while rotating the crust. When the circle has reached the desired size, place on a well oiled pizza pan. Top pizza with your favorite toppings, such as sauce, cheese, meats, or vegetables.
- Bake for 16 to 20 minutes (depending on thickness) in the preheated oven, until the crust is crisp and golden at the edges, and cheese is melted on the top.

HEALTHIER ALTERNATIVE WHOLE WHEAT PIZZA CRUST
I have been trying to remove the "white" in my diet as much as possible but its hard when most "healthier" foods are 2xs more expensive, I just dont get that. In my transition I needed to adjust our regular quick dinner of pizza into something I have to make on my own. I started with a basic recipe and started tweeking from there. I think that this is the final draft and I am pretty satisfied on how this crust has turned out. Try it you may like it.

Steps:
- 1. In a large bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water. Add yeast, dissolve and let stand 10 minutes until it proofs and is foamy. Add olive oil and salt to yeast mixture. Then add whole wheat flour and 1 cup all-purpose flour until dough begins to come together. Put dough onto surface dusted with all-purpose flour. Knead until flour has been absorbed and ball of dough is smooth - about 8 - 10 minutes. Coat a bowl with EVOO and add ball of dough and coat surface of dough with the oil. Cover top of bowl with a kitchen towel and place in oven with the light on to rise for about an hour. It should be doubled in size. When dough has risen, turn dough onto lightly floured surface and divide into 2 pieces for thin crust or leave it whole for a thick crust. Form into a tight ball and let rise about 45 minutes. Preheat oven to 425°. Roll dough with a rolling pin and pull dough with it shaped over your fist to desired size of pizza pan. Place on well oiled or sprayed pan. Top with your favorite toppings. Bake until bubbly. Picture shown is a BBQ Chicken Pizza and a deep dish Turkey Pepperoni Pizza.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Freshly milled whole wheat flour, extra virgin olive oil, and flavorful toppings will make a big difference in the final product.
- Start with cold water: This will help create a more tender and flaky crust.
- Mix the dough until it just comes together: Overmixing will make the crust tough.
- Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help the yeast activate and create a light and airy crust.
- Preheat your oven to the highest temperature possible: This will help create a crispy crust.
- Don't overcrowd the pizza: Leave some space between the toppings so that they cook evenly.
- Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly: Keep an eye on the pizza so that it doesn't overcook.
Conclusion:
With its whole wheat crust, this pizza is a healthier and more flavorful alternative to traditional white pizza. The whole wheat flour adds a nutty flavor and chewy texture to the crust, while the extra virgin olive oil and flavorful toppings make it a truly special dish. This pizza is perfect for a quick and easy meal or a fun party food. So next time you're craving pizza, give this whole wheat version a try. You won't be disappointed!
