Directions

In a small bowl, whisk together the active dry yeast and the water. Let stand for 5 minutes until the yeast starts to bubble.
Pour the flour, whole wheat flour, and salt into the bowl of a food processor, and pulse to combine.
Turn the processor on and slowly pour in the yeast and water mixture. Once a dough ball forms, add the olive oil.
Tip onto a floured surface and knead until smooth, about 10 minutes. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow to rise at room temperature for 2 hours, or until doubled in size. Form into four balls and shape into thin circles to make desired pizza.

Chef Tips

For a low-fiber crust, substitute the whole wheat flour for another 6 ounces of all-purpose flour.
