Ingredients

1 package dry yeast
1 cup warm water (105-115 degrees F)
1 teaspoon honey or agave nectar or sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
½ cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
Cooking spray

Instructions

Pour the yeast into a large bowl. Add water and honey, and stir. Let the mixture sit until foamy bubbles appear on the surface of the water, about 10 minutes. Add the flours, salt, and olive oil and stir with a wooden spoon.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead the dough until it is smooth and elastic, about 5-6 minutes. Spray a large bowl with cooking spray, place the ball of dough in the bowl and lightly spray the surface with cooking spray.Cover the bowl with a dish towel and let the dough rest in a warm, draft-free room for 1 hour.
After 1 hour, the dough should have doubled in size. Punch down the dough. If using the dough, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface and roll the dough into a circle. If not, form it into a ball, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before rolling it out.
