Whole Wheat Pizza Dough

**UPDATE**
I've moved to ladybugsandlattes.com

This is my new go-to pizza dough recipe! Had I known about this before, I never would have purchased the frozen kind. Also, this dough takes about 2 hours max to be ready, whereas the frozen kind takes all day.

This recipe makes enough for 1 pizza, but I usually double it to make 2 (because is 1 delicious homemade pizza ever enough?).

Ingredients:
* 1 Tablespoon active dry yeast
* 1 Tablespoon brown sugar


* 1 Cup warm water
* 1 1/4 Cups whole wheat flour
* 1 1/4 Cups bread flour
* 3/4 Teaspoon sea salt
* 1 Tablespoon olive oil

In a large bowl, whisk the yeast, brown sugar, and warm water (warm, NOT hot). Then let it sit for about 10 minutes. It will become bubbly.

Then add the remaining ingredients to the bowl and mix.

Lay it out on a clean counter or wax paper and knead it for about 5 minutes.

 Pat it into a ball and put it back in the bowl. Cover it with cling wrap and let it rise 1-2 hours.

Once it has risen, use floured hands to flatten it out onto your pizza pan and you're ready to make your pizza!
