Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/4 cups warm water (more if needed)
- 1 packet (2 1/4 tsp) active dry yeast
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until frothy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt.
- Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and pour in the yeast mixture. If using, add the olive oil.
- Mix until a dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add a bit more warm water, a tablespoon at a time.
- Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 10 minutes or until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise for 1-1.5 hours or until doubled in size.
- Preheat your oven to its highest setting, preferably around 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven. If not, an inverted baking sheet will do.
- Divide the dough into two equal parts. Roll out each portion into an oval shape on a floured surface. The dough should be quite thin.
- If you have small pebbles or stones (clean and safe for baking), you can place them on your baking stone or inverted baking sheet for the traditional texture. If not, you can skip this step.
- Place the rolled-out dough onto the stone or baking sheet and bake for 5-8 minutes, or until the bread is golden and has puffed up.
- Remove from the oven and cool on a wire rack.
