Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose, unbleached flour
1½ cups whole-wheat flour + extra flour to dust
2 teaspoons baking powder, low sodium
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1½ cups water
Canola cooking oil spray
Directions
Before you begin: Wash your hands.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flours and baking powder. Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add 1 tablespoon honey, 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1½ cups water.
- Fold ingredients together with a large spoon, making sure all flour is off the sides of the bowl.
- Once completely combined, turn dough out onto a clean, flour-dusted surface and knead dough for 5-10 minutes, until it becomes pliable. Add flour as needed to keep dough from sticking to hands and work surface.
- Wrap dough tightly in plastic wrap and place in refrigerator to cool for at least 30 minutes.
- Dust the surface with whole-wheat flour before rolling out the dough.
- Heat a grill pan on medium heat and spray canola oil to coat pan. Grill pizza for 4 minutes on each side, then add toppings and let sit on grill to warm everything up (and melt cheese if used). Then, serve.
