Whole Wheat Pizza with Olives

Using pizza crust yeast eliminates the need to let dough rise; it goes straight from formation into a preheated oven. From a basic master dough, pizza is just the beginning of what form the dough may take. Use it to make calzones, breadsticks, pizza rustica and breadsticks.

I love your show, but sometimes the recipes online are different that what is said on the show. Like this Whole Wheat Pizza recipe. On TV you said 2 cups Whole wheat flour and 1 1/2 c white Whole wheat flour. It is the opposite in the recipe. On TV you said 110 to 115 degrees on the water temperature. You said when you baked the pizza you turned the temp down to 450 or 425 and it would bake in 10 minutes. The recipe doesn’t say to turn down the temp and it says 12 to 15 minutes. I really wish someone would check the recipe before putting them on the website. All the things I mentioned can make a big difference in the finished product.
So, could someone tell me the right recipe is.
