Ingredients

1 package (1 tablespoon) dry yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 cup warm water — 105 degrees
3 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1/2 cup semolina
1 tablespoon salt
3 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Dissolve yeast and sugar in 1/2 cup water. Let it stand until foamy (about 10 minutes). Sift flour, semolina and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the olive oil and stir with a wooden spoon until the oil is absorbed. Stir in yeast mixture and then stir in remaining water until the dough is stiff and a little sticky. Turn dough onto a lightly floured board. Knead until smooth and elastic (about 7 minutes). Dough should be firm and moist. Cover with a damp towel and set aside to rest about 20 minutes. Divide into three equal pieces. Form each piece into a ball. Cover with a damp towel and set aside to rest for 45 minutes. Roll out for pizza and top with favorite pizza toppings, or wrap in saran wrap and freeze. Makes 3 12-inch pizzas.
