Surefire Thick and Chewy Pizza Crust

1 1/3 C. warm water
1 T. yeast
1/2 t. honey
2 T. vegetable oil
3 1/4 C. sifted whole wheat flour

Place water in large bowl. Sprinkle with yeast and add honey. Let stand 10 minutes. Add oil and mix. Stir in flour a cupful at a time. When dough is too thick to stir, turn batter onto counter and knead for 10 minutes, working in the rest of the flour. For a ball and turn into lightly greased bowl. Set in warm, draft free place to rise until double in size. Punch down and turn back onto lightly floured board. Divide in half. Roll each piece into circle large enough to fill lightly greased 12" pizza pan. Transfer to pan and let rise again- up to 1 hour. Bake at 400 degrees for 6-7 minutes. Add sauces and cheese and return to oven for further baking or let shell cook, wrap it and freeze for future use.

For thin and crispy crust: omit honey and eliminate 1st raising time. Roll out, form onto pans and bake immediately.
