Servings: persons

1 cup Water, Warmed To 110F
2-1/4 teaspoons Dry Yeast
1-1/4 cup Whole Wheat White Flour
1-1/4 cup All-purpose Flour
1-1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Sugar
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Dry Oregano
1/2 teaspoons Dry Basil
1/2 teaspoons Dry Parsley
1 dash Pepper
2 Tablespoons Olive Oil Plus Extra For Brushing In Bowl And On Top Of Dough
1/2 cups Mozzarella Cheese, Shredded
2 Tablespoons Grated Parmesan Cheese

1
In a large mixing bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water for 5 minutes. Set aside.
2
Combine both flours in another bowl and set aside.
3
In the meantime mix salt, sugar, garlic powder, oregano, basil, parsley, and pepper in a little bowl.
4
After yeast is dissolved, add the olive oil, spice mixture, and 1 1/2 cups of the flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
5
Knead in your mixer with a dough hook for about 6-8 minutes OR alternatively turn onto floured surface and knead by hand until smooth and elastic. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top of the dough. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled about 1 hour.
6
Punch dough down. Cover and let rest 10 minutes. Shape into a 13x9 inch rectangle. Place on a greased baking sheet. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 30 minutes. Preheat oven to 400 F.
7
With fingertips, make several dimples over top of dough.
8
Brush with oil; sprinkle with cheeses and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire rack.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
