This recipe bakes up into three hearty pizza crusts. This pizza dough can also be used to make calzones or can be frozen for later use.

Ingredients

1 package active dry yeast , .25 ounce
1 tablespoon white sugar
2.5 cups warm water , 110 degrees F
0.5 cups whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon salt
5.5 cups bread flour

Instructions

1

Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water in a large bowl. Let sit until creamy, about 10 minutes.
2

Stir whole wheat flour, oil, and salt into yeast mixture, then stir in 4 cups bread flour. Add remaining 1 1/2 cups bread flour, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. When dough pulls together, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes.
3

Lightly oil a large mixing bowl. Place dough into the bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover with a damp cloth and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
4

Punch down dough and turn it out onto a lightly floured surface. Divide into thirds and form each piece into a round. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
