i like this stuff. i think it has a better texture than just plain white bread, and its just better nutritionally i believe. something about fiber too. i havent had white bread in years...

ANYWAY. i bought some whole wheat flour. im looking for PIZZA DOUGH recipes, and they all seem to use regular AP with the whole wheat. like putting in half AP and half WW, or maybe a little more AP than WW or vice versa

then of course i found one that was completely WW, but that was 'south beach diet' and that may sound kinda nasty

so any ideas? id like the completely WW one cuz its healthier, but the texture may be all nasty. just bringing it up, in case anyone knew. and if i can ask, id rather than to experiment myself and end up making something tough.. nasty...

1 Tbls. sugar or honey
1 1/4 cups warm water (110 degrees)
1 pack (1/4 ounce) dry yeast
1 1/4 cups white flour
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup olive oil
Dissolve sugar in water and add yeast. Stir gently until disssolved
(about 1 minute). Let stand until the yeast foams slightly
(about 5 minutes) to insure that the yeast is effective. Combine
3 cups of the flour and salt in a large bowl. Pour in the yeast
mixture and oil if you are using it. Begin kneading the mixture,
gradually adding enough of the remaining 1/4 cup flour so that the
dough is no longer sticky. Continue kneading until the dough is smooth
and elastic (another 10−15 minutes by hand). Shape dough into a
and put in an oiled bowl, turning the dough to coat it with the oil.
Let rise until doubled in bulk (45 minutes to 1−1/2 hours, depending
on the yeast and the temperature). Punch down the dough and shape
into 1 or 2 pieces. The entire recipe will make two 12 inch pizzas.
Shape the dough either by hand or with a rolling pin, stretching out
as necessary to achieve a thin dough. For a lighter crust, let the
dough sit for a half hour after shaping before constructing pizza and baking


Dunno how it'll turn out, but it's the only recipe I got
