Whole Wheat Pizza Crust

I made hamburger and mushroom pizza on Friday and the crust was so amazingly good. Here is how I made it:

1 teaspoon honey (I let Alex be in charge of this and sometimes she squeezes more in)
1 1/2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 tablespoon active dry yeast
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
3 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
(This is enough for two pizzas. I typically cook one half of it and save the other half in the fridge for sometime in the next couple of days.)

Preheat oven to 425. Put the water, yeast, and honey in a bowl. Cover and let it sit for about 10 minutes--this should make it foamy. Mix in the rest of the ingredients, separate the dough into two pieces, coat each piece in oil and put in separate covered bowls. Let sit for about 15 minutes. Spread out dough on greased cookie sheets. Bake for about 5 minutes. Take out of oven and spread on sauce, cheese, and toppings. Bake for another 15 minutes or so (until cheese looks golden brown).
