This next recipe was also very good. I have a go to pizza crust that I ALWAYS make. I was feeling daring so I decided to branch out this time and try something new. This was hands down the best crust ever. It was so light and fluffy. This might just be my new go to pizza crust.

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, plus more for dusting
1 cup unbleached flour
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast

3/4 tsp salt

1 cup warm water

1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tbsp agave nectar

Directions

Combine ingredients in a large bowl. Stir until dough is formed. Knead dough with hands for five minutes. Form dough into a ball, place back in bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Allow the dough to rise for 45 minutes- 1 hour. 

Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Remove dough from bowl. Knead for 1 more minute and roll out dough onto greased pizza pan. Cover with desired toppings and bake for 12-15 minutes. 

Stay tuned for the gross recipes. Just in case you feel like making something that no one will want to eat.
