Pizza Crust (Jinny)


Here's a wheat pizza crust recipe we really like. We topped ours with Alfredo, Chicken, Bacon, Spinach, and Onion. Also, my sister Jessie has a really good regular Pizza Crust recipe on her blog (along with other awesome recipes, she is such a good cook/baker!) Click here.




1 cup warm water
1 tsp honey
1 package dry yeast
1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour plus more for kneading and forming dough
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
1 tsp salt

In a small bowl, combine water, honey, and yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flours, oregano, crushed red pepper and salt. Add the yeast mixture and stir until a soft dough forms.
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth, adding more flour as needed if dough is sticky, about 10 minutes. Coat the bowl with vegetable spray. Form the dough into a ball, put it in the bowl, turn, and cover, let rise until doubled, about 1 hr.
Punch down the dough, let rest for 10 minutes. Stretch the dough into a 12-inch circle, top with your toppings and bake 35 minutes until cruse is golden brown in 450degree oven.
