Ingredients

• 3-1/2 cups bread flour
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 5 teaspoons quick-rise yeast
• 1-1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1-1/2 to 1-2/3 cups warm water (120° to 130°)

Preparation

Step 1

Place the flours, yeast and salt in a food processor; pulse until blended. Add honey. While processing, gradually add water until a ball forms. Continue processing 60 seconds to knead dough.

Turn dough onto floured surface; shape into a ball. Cover and let rest 10 minutes. Divide dough into quarters. Use immediately or freeze for later use. Yield: 2 pounds (enough for 4 pizzas).

To make pizza: Grease a 12-in. pizza pan; sprinkle with cornmeal. On a lightly floured surface, stretch and shape one portion of dough to form a 12-in. crust; transfer to prepared pan. Top as desired. Bake at 450° for 15-20 minutes or until crust is lightly browned. If using frozen dough, thaw in the refrigerator overnight. Proceed as directed.
