Steps

1. In a small bowl, dissolve the yeast and honey in warm water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until frothy.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt.
3. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil to the flour. Mix until a dough forms.
4. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 8 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover, and let it rise for 1 hour or until doubled in size.
6. Preheat the oven to 230°C (450°F) and place a baking stone or tray inside.
7. Punch down the dough and divide it into two equal pieces. Roll each piece into a 15cm (6 inch) circle.
8. Place the dough rounds on parchment paper and bake on the hot stone or tray for 5-6 minutes until they puff up and lightly brown.
9. Remove from oven and cool slightly before serving.
