whole wheat pizza dough

When my family heard we were having pizza for dinner there was some cheering!  They enjoy making their own pizzas.  I wanted a whole wheat dough this time so tried a new recipe.  Everyone loved their pizza (even my oldest who used pesto and vegan cheese) and it was simple to make.

whole wheat pizza dough (slightly adapted from Sally's Baking Addiction)
1 teaspoon granulated sugar
1 tablespoon yeast
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
1 teaspoon salt
3 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
olive oil for brushing crust

Combine the sugar, yeast and warm water in a large bowl.  Stir it around and let it sit for 5 minutes or until the yeast is foamy and dissolved.  Add the oil, honey and salt.  Mix by hand.  Add 3 cups of whole wheat flour and mix until the dough starts to come together.
Knead for 5 minutes by hand on a lightly floured surface.  If the dough is too wet add up to 1/3  cup more flour.  After kneading the dough should be smooth and elastic.  Poke it with your finger- if it slowly bounces back, your dough is ready to rise.  If not keep kneading.
Shape the dough into a ball and place in a large mixing bowl that has been coated lightly with oil.  Turn it over to coat all sides.  Cover tightly with plastic wrap and allow to rise in a warm environment for 30-60 minutes.
Preheat oven to 475 degrees.  Grease and dust 2 baking sheets or pizza pans with nonstick spray or olive oil. Sprinkle with cornmeal if desired.
Divide the dough into two balls.  Flatten each ball of dough one at a time on a lightly floured surface for two pizzas.  Or shape into multiple smaller pizzas for individual pizzas.  Transfer dough to the pizza pan or baking sheets.  Top with your favorite toppings.
Bake 15 minutes.  Serve nice and hot.
