Ingredients
-
1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) instant yeast
-
1 tbsp granulated sugar
-
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
-
1 cup warm water (110°F)
-
1 tsp salt
-
2 1/2 cups bread flour
-
1 cup whole wheat flour
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, mix 1 cup of warm water (110°F) with 1 tablespoon of sugar and 1 packet of instant yeast. Let the mixture sit for 5 minutes until foamy.
-
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of salt to the yeast mixture.
-
Gradually add 2 1/2 cups of bread flour and 1 cup of whole wheat flour, stirring until combined.
-
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
-
Let the dough rise for 10 minutes at room temperature.
-
Shape the dough as desired and bake according to your recipe or preferences (pizza, rolls, or loaf).
Notes
-
Be sure to use warm water (100°F to 110°F) to activate the yeast. Water that’s too hot can kill the yeast.
-
If you prefer a lighter texture, you can increase the amount of bread flour and reduce the whole wheat flour.
-
You can customize this dough by adding herbs, spices, or even cheese for added flavor.
