Whole-wheat pizza dough

1 1/2 cups warm (115 degrees) water

2 packets actice dry yeast (1/4 ounce each)

1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for bowl

2 tablespoons sugar (have substituted 1 pkt stevia)

2 teaspoons course salt

2 cups all -purpose flour ( have substituted all whole wheat flour)

2 cups whole-wheat flour

1. Place water in a large bowl; sprinkle with yeast.  Let stand until foamy.  About 5 minutes.  Brush another large bowl with oil.

2. In bowl with yeast, whisk sugar, oil, and salt.  Stir in flours with a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms.  Transfer to oiled bowl; brush top of dough with oil.  Cover bowl with plastic wrap; let stand in a warm spot until dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.

3. Turn dough out onto a well-floured surface.  With floured hands, knead until smooth, about 15 seconds; divide into two balls.

Updated variations of the recipe:

**I have substituted and left out the oil and added a small individual sized apple-sauce with cinnamon with the 4 cups of whole wheat flour and stevia.

** I have reduced the olive oil to 1/8 a cup and added used all whole wheat flour and stevia or Truvia.

** I use a pizza stone and this recipe usually makes 2 thin crusts.  I cook the crust first for 8 minutes before adding the ingredients!    My favorite toppings are a spicy BBQ sauce, grilled chicken, onions, jalapenos, red, yellow, or green peppers, and other items that may be on hand in the fridge!!!!
