Ingredients:

2 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 cup warm water (105°F – 115°F)
2 tablespoons Big Y® olive oil
1 teaspoon Big Y® salt
1¼ cups King Arthur® Organic all-purpose flour
2/3 cup King Arthur® Organic whole wheat flour
2 tablespoons flaxseed, ground (or 3 tablespoons
flaxseed meal)
– Big Y® cooking spray

Instructions:

Step 1: In a mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in the warm water. Let stand for 5 minutes.

Step 3: Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface.
Step 4: Knead until smooth and elastic (8-10 minutes), adding all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, to prevent the dough from sticking.

Place dough in and flip once. Cover with plastic wrap and let
rise in a warm place for 30 minutes.
Step 6: Preheat oven to 450°F.
Step 7: Punch dough down, cover, and let rest 5 minutes.
Step 8: Roll dough into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface. Place onto a pizza stone or baking sheet.
Step 9: Top dough with your favorite toppings and cook until
center is bubbly or crust is brown.
