Whole Wheat Pizza Dough

So ever since we moved to Heber City, I have missed having stores like Fresh & Easy and Trader Joe's, where I would get fresh pre-made pizza dough. When looking for a recipe for pizza dough to make Veggie Pizza Pie I found this recipe and thought it turned out well! So for those of you who do not have access to fabulous pre-made pizza dough, here is a good and easy recipe.

1 teaspoon white sugar
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups all-purpose

1. In a large bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water. Sprinkle yeast over the top, and let stand for about 10 minutes, until foamy.
2. Stir the olive oil and salt into the yeast mixture, then mix in the whole wheat flour and 1 cup of the all-purpose flour until dough starts to come together. Tip dough out onto a surface floured with the remaining all-purpose flour, and knead until all of the flour has been absorbed, and the ball of dough becomes smooth, about 10 minutes. Place dough in an oiled bowl, and turn to coat the surface. Cover loosely with a towel, and let stand in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
3. When the dough is doubled, tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and divide into 2 pieces for 2 thin crust, or leave whole to make one thick crust.
4. Preheat oven to 425 then roll out dough on a floured surface. Add desired toppings then bake for 16-20 min. depending on the thickness of your crust.
