Step-by-step
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, sprinkle the yeast over the warm water and let stand 5 minutes.
- Add the sugar, 2 tbsp. olive oil, flours, and salt. Place the bowl on the stand mixer, fitted with a dough hook, and knead on low speed until soft and smooth, about 10 minutes. Add additional flour about 1/4 cup at a time if the dough starts to stick to the sides of the bowl during the kneading.
- Remove the bowl from the mixer and drizzle some olive oil over the ball of dough. Turn to coat, cover the bowl with a kitchen towel, and set in a warm draft-free space for two hours.
- Preheat oven to 500°. Split the dough in half and roll each half into a round using a rolling pin. Transfer to baking sheets.

- Bake until crust is golden brown, about 12 minutes. Let cool slightly and cut into wedges to serve.
