Ingredients (for 1 pound of dough):
1 cup all purpose flour
1 package quick-rising yeast, (2 1/4 tsp)
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
3/4 c hot water (120-130 degrees)
1 Tblsp extra-virgin olive oil
Directions: Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Combine whole-wheat flour, all purpose flour, yeast, salt and sugar in a food processor; pulse to mix. Combine hot water and oil in a measuring cup. With the motor running, gradually pour in enough of the hot liquid until the mixture forms a sticky ball. The dough should be quite soft. If it seems dry, add 1 to 2 Tbsp warm water; if too sticky, add 1 to 2 Tbsp flour. Process until the dough forms a ball, then process for 1 minute to knead.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Coat a sheet of plastic wrap with cooking spray and place it, sprayed-side down, over the dough. Let the dough rest for 10 to 20 minutes before rolling.
Roll and top the pizza as desired (we suggest a 13-inch circle) and bake the pizza until the bottom is crisp and golden, 10 to 14 minutes. Serve immediately.
