Can I make pizza dough in advance?

Yes, you can make the dough a day in advance and let it rise slowly in the refrigerator overnight. Allow it to come to room temperature before shaping and baking.

What if I don't have White Whole Wheat Flour?

If you can't find that specific kind of flour, use half whole wheat and half unbleached, all-purpose flour instead.

How can I make the crust a little crispier?

You can preheat a pizza stone in the oven and bake the pizza directly on it. Another idea is to brush the crust with a little olive oil before baking.

Instructions

Proof the Yeast: In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Stir and let sit until the yeast starts to foam and bubble, 5 to 7 minutes.
Make the Dough: Add the olive oil, honey, and salt to the bowl and stir. Using the dough hook, turn the mixer on low and add the flour in 1-cup increments until all is added. Once a dough starts to form, increase the speed to medium. If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour. Mix for 5 minutes or until the dough is well combined. Scrape down the sides halfway through the mixing time.
Let Dough Rise: Dust the (clean) counter with flour to use as a work surface. Remove the dough and knead on the counter a few times and then form a ball. Place the dough ball in a well-greased bowl, cover loosely with a towel, and let rise for 30 minutes in a warm place. At this point, the dough is ready to use for pizza, calzones, or stromboli pizza or to freeze for later use. If you want to use it later, wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 days.

Notes/Tips

How to Use for Homemade Pizza: If making a large pizza with this dough, bake on a sheet pan in an oven that’s been preheated to 450°F for 15-18 minutes. Baking times and temperatures will depend on the recipe you use with the dough.

If you can’t find that specific kind of flour, use half whole wheat and half unbleached, all-purpose flour instead.
If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.
