Whole Wheat Pizza Crust

Delicious and Easy! :)  I found it here, but here is the same thing with some minor changes for what I do.  Enjoy!

Ingredients
1 tsp. white sugar
1 1/2 cups warm water
1 Tbs. of active dry yeast
1 Tbs. Olive Oil
1 tsp. salt
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

In a large bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water and sprinkle yeast over the top. Stir it a little, and then let it stand for about 20 minutes until active and foamy.  Then stir in the olive oil and salt into the yeast mixture and add the whole wheat flour and 1 cup of the all-purpose flour  and mix together till dough comes together(use the remaining 1/2 cup of flour for kneading so it can be absorbed into the dough). Tip dough on onto the floured surface of the remaing 1/2 cup of flour and knead for about 10 minutes till flour has been absorbed and the ball of dough is smoot. Place dough in an oiled bowl, to keep from drying out, turn to coat and then cover loosely with a towl and let it stand in a warm place until doubled in size (about 1 hour).  After the dough has doubled, tip it out and divide into 2 pieces for 2 thin crust, or leave whole to make one thin crust (I prefer the two thin crust).  Form into a tight ball and let it rise till doubled the size, about 45 minutes.
After that, preheat over to 425 degrees F.  Roll a ball of dough with a rolling pin until it will not stretch any further.  Then, drape it over both of your fists, and gently pull the edges outward, while rotating the crust.  When it has reached desired size, place on a well oiled pizza pan and top with favorite toppings (sauce, cheese, meat, vegtables whatever! :))  Bake for 16-20 minutes (depending on thickness of crust) until the crust is crisp and golden and cheese is melted.

DELICIOUS!!!!
