Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm water (110 degrees F to 115 degrees F)
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1 (1/4-ounce) packet active dry yeast (2 1/4 teaspoons)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon fine salt
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil, plus more as needed

Method

  • Whisk the water and honey together in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook and sprinkle the yeast on top.
  • Set aside until the mixture bubbles, about 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the flours and salt in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
  • When the yeast is ready, add the flour mixture and measured olive oil and mix on low speed until the dough just starts to come together and looks shaggy, about 2 minutes.
  • Increase the speed to medium and continue to mix until the dough is elastic and smooth, about 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, wipe out the large mixing bowl, coat it with oil, and set aside.
  • When the dough is ready, gather it into a ball, place it in the oiled mixing bowl, and turn to coat it in the oil.
  • Cover with a clean, damp dishtowel or plastic wrap and let it rest in a warm place until it doubles in size, about 1 hour.
  • Once the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a lightly oiled work surface.
  • Divide the dough into 2 pieces and form each into a ball.
  • Place the dough balls on a lightly oiled work surface, cover with a clean, damp dishtowel or plastic wrap, and let rest for 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Shape and bake as desired.
