"Perfect Pizza Crust"

I found this recipe in "Taste of Home" and if you have the hour to let it rise it's totally worth it.

Ingredients:
1 Tbsp active dry yeast
1-1/2 cups warm water
2 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups bread flour
1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour
Cornmeal
Pizza toppings of your choice

Directions:
In a large bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Add the sugar, salt, 1 cup bread flour and the whole wheat flour. Beat until smooth. Stir in enough remaining bread flour to for a soft dough (dough will be sticky).

Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease the top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled about 1 hour.

Punch down dough; roll into a 15-in. circle. Grease a 14-in. pizza pan and sprinkle with cornmeal. Transfer dough to prepared pan; build up edges slightly.

Add toppings of your choice. Bake at 425 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until crust is golden brown and toppings are lightly browned and heated through.
