Let’s make it
- 01
Mix flours, yeast, and salt. Stir in warm water and oil.
- 02
Knead on a lightly floured counter for 8 minutes until smooth. Cover in an oiled bowl and rise 60–90 minutes until doubled, additional to active preparation.
- 03
Divide into two small pizzas or stretch one large crust. Top and bake at 475°F (245°C) for 12–15 minutes; baking time is additional.
A little kitchen wisdom
Rest dough at room temperature before stretching so it resists less. Shape gently instead of using a rolling pin.
Make it your own
Use all-purpose flour for the whole-wheat portion for a softer crust. This yeast dough is not suitable for a direct gluten-free flour swap.
Storage & leftovers
Refrigerate covered in an oiled container for up to 2 days, allowing space to rise. Bring toward room temperature before shaping. Freeze portions for up to 2 months and thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
