1 hour 30 min	15 min	1 hour 45 min	1 large pizza crust

Ingredients

3 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup whole wheat flour
1 tablespoon cane sugar
1 tablespoon instant yeast
1 tablespoon nutritional yeast
1 tablespoon hemp hearts
2 teaspoons sea salt
1 3/4 cups hot water

Optional:

1 tablespoon dried greens
1 tablespoon dried parsley

Instructions

Start by adding the flours, sugar, yeast, nutritional yeast, hemp hearts, salt, and optional ingredients (if using) to a large bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are the fully incorporated.
Make a well in the dry ingredients and add one cup of water. Knead until the dough is still sticky but does not cling to your hands. Add more water 1/4 cup at a time until desired texture is reached.
Cover the bowl with a kitchen towel and transfer it to a dark, warm, and dry spot. Let the dough rise for about 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
Next, punch the risen dough flat and work it with your hands for about 5 minutes.
Transfer the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it until it is 1/2 an inch thick. Finish your pizza with your favorite pizza sauce and toppings. Bake for 15 minutes and enjoy!
