8 servings
- 1 cup warm water (about 110°f / 43°c)
- 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast (1 standard packet)
Ingredient noteLow histamine diets often flag yeast because of its association with fermentation, but baker's yeast is a fresh cultured leavening that does not carry the pre-formed histamine of aged or fermented foods, and the small amount used to raise dough adds little. It is likely fine here. If you prefer to always avoid active dry yeast, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 tsp honey
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, plus more for the bowl
Instructions
- 1
Combine the warm water, yeast, and honey in a large mixing bowl and stir briefly. Let stand for 5–8 minutes, until the surface is foamy and the mixture smells yeasty.

Add the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, salt, and 2 tbsp olive oil to the yeast mixture. Stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms, then turn out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 6–8 minutes, until the dough is smooth, slightly tacky, and springs back slowly when poked.
