Ingredients:





     1 ts Light honey


     1 c  Lukewarm water; (98-100


          -degrees F)


     1 pk Active dry yeast


     2 c  Whole wheat or unbleached


          -flour


     1 ts Olive oil


   1/2 ts Herbal salt substitute


          Flour; for dusting board


          Safflower oil; for coating


          -bowl






 In a large mixing bowl, combine honey, the warm water, and yeast, and stir


 until yeast dissolves. Let mixture stand, uncovered, at room temperature


 for 5 minutes.


 


 Stir in 1 cup of the flour and mix well. Let batter rise for 20 minutes,


 then stir down and add remaining flour, oil, and salt substitute.


 


 Lightly flour a counter or breadboard and turn dough onto it. Knead dough


 for 5 minutes, flouring lightly as needed to prevent stickiness. Dough


 should be smooth and elastic.


 


 Lightly oil a large bowl and place dough into it. Cover with a dish towel


 and let rise for 30 minutes. Punch down, then divide into 4 balls and roll


 into rounds. Dough is now ready to use for pizza.


 


 Makes 4 small pizza crusts.

 about 2 hours before you want to serve the pizza, since the dough needs


 time to rise.
