Ingredients
2 envelopes yeast (.25oz each)1 1/4 cups water (100º to 110°F)3 cups whole wheat flour1 tablespoon honey1/2 teaspoon salt1/4 cup olive oil
Directions
1. Combine yeast, honey, and warm water in liquid measuring cup and set aside.
2. Combine and salt in a large mixing bowl. Pour in yeast mixture and oil; mix until dough forms.
3. Knead on clean surface with lightly oiled hands OR continue mixing in stand mixer with dough hook for 3 minutes.
4. Spray TWO 14-inch pizza pans or baking sheets. Divide dough in half; roll each half on a lightly floured surface into a 13-inch circle. Transfer to pans. Do not let rise. Bake in a pre-heated 400°F oven for about 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Spread sauce onto hot crust; then top with desired pizza ingredients. Bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes more or until bubbly.



To Make Deep-Dish Pizza:
Spray a 14-inch pizza pan or baking sheet. Place dough in center of pan. With greased hands, pat dough into pan and build up edges to form a rim about 1/2-inch tall. Let dough rest in pan about 15 minutes, until slightly puffy. Bake in a pre-heated 375°F oven for 15 to 20 minutes, until lightly browned. Spread sauce onto hot crust; then top with desired pizza ingredients. Bake for an additional 12 to 20 minutes more or until bubbly.

**Dough may be frozen. Freeze each half separately in freezer bags lightly coated with cooking spray for up to one month. Thaw in refrigerator 8 to 12 hours or at room temperature 2 to 3 hours. Dough does not have to rise again after thawing.**

    Loved it. Dough was the perfect size for plenty of pizza plus leftovers for 2 people. Love that I can save the other for another meal too. The dough was SO good. I didn't even realize that it was healthy. I really liked it! Will be making many more times! :) - 8/30/09

    Simple, quick and awesome crust! This just became one of my go-to recipes. I made it with half white and half whole wheat flour for kid-friendliness, and both kids gave it thumbs-up. - 7/30/09
