Ingredients
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all purpose flour
- 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sugar
- 3/4 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Preparation
Step 1
Combine flours, yeast, salt, and sugar in a food processor; pulse to mix. Combine warm water and oil in a measuring cup. With the motor running, gradually pour in enough of the liquid until the mixture forms a sticky ball. The dough should be quite soft. If it seems dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of warm water; if too sticky, add 1 to 2 tablespoons flour. Process until the dough forms a ball, then process for 1 minute to knead.
Lightly coat a large bowl with cooking spray. Place dough inside, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let rise about an hour, or until doubled in size. Punch down and let the dough rest for about 10 minutes before rolling.
*If you want to knead by hand feel free - knead for about 10 minutes. As made, this recipe makes about 1 pound of dough.
If you would like to make about 12 ounces of dough, here is the ingredient list to follow - the directions to prepare the dough is the same.
