Whole wheat pizza

INGREDIENTS

Nonstick cooking spray
3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water (100 to 110 degrees F)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
2 cups white whole-wheat flour, plus more for kneading
salt for taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
pizza suace
Mozerella cheese
Vegetables for topping
Pizza pan for baking

 DIRECTIONS
1. In a large bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water. Sprinkle yeast over the top, and let stand for about 10 minutes, until foamy.
2. Stir the olive oil and salt into the yeast mixture, then mix in the whole wheat flour  until dough starts to come together. knead until all of the flour has been absorbed, and the ball of dough becomes smooth, about 10 minutes.
3. Place dough in an oiled bowl, and turn to coat the surface. Cover loosely with a towel, and let stand in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
4. When the dough is doubled, tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and divide into 2 pieces for 2 thin crust, or leave whole to make one thick crust. Form into a tight ball.
 Let rise for about 45 minutes, until doubled.
5. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F . Roll a ball of dough with a rolling pin until it will not stretch any further.And gently pull the edges outward, while rotating the crust. When the circle has reached the desired size, place on a well oiled pizza pan.
6. Just do small holes with froke on crust , so it will bake nicely .
7. Top pizza with your favorite toppings, such as sauce, cheese, meats, or vegetables.
8. Bake for 16 to 20 minutes (depending on thickness) in the preheated oven, until the crust is crisp and golden at the edges, and cheese is melted on the top.
