The Easiest Whole Wheat Pizza Dough
A whole wheat dough that is still soft inside and crispy outside, taste like Italian-style brick oven pizza. This dough can be made in a stand mixer, food processor, or 5 minutes of hand kneading. After I discovered this recipe we make pizza pretty often, especially since it can easily be frozen. We also show you how we make our pizza at home. It’s perfect for a movie night with the family.
This whole-wheat pizza dough recipe tastes better and fresh than the whole wheat pizza dough store-bought.
Serving: 2 pizzas
How do you make whole wheat pizza from scratch?
3 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour (Can make 100% whole wheat but will be thinner crust)
1 Tbsp salt
2 Tbsp unrefined sugar or honey
4 1/2 tsp active dry yeast (2 packets)
1 tsp garlic powder
1tsp choice herbs. eg. thyme, basil, oregano
1/2 tsp rosemary
1/4 tsp onion powder
1 1/2 cups warm water (about 105ºF)
1/4 cup olive oil
Preparation
1. Sprinkle yeast on the warm water and proof for 10 min. Then add honey and mix.
2. Mix dry ingredients and oil. Attach the dough hook on slow speed and slowly add the water until completely incorporated. Within 1-2min the dough should come together and pull away from the sides.
Note: You can make this 100% Whole wheat but the crust will be thinner.
3. Grease a bowl and cover dough loosely with saran wrap and a tea towel for 1-2 hrs until doubled in size.
4.Punch down dough and roll onto a floured surface. Divide into two.
5. To FREEZE: Wrap in saran wrap and put it into a freezer bag. Can keep in the freezer for 2-3 months. To use just thaw in the fridge night before and let the dough rise at room temperature for 30 min-1hr before.
6. To use NOW: Cover the dough for another 30min-1hr. If you need more time put it in the fridge for up to 24hrs in a sealed container. The dough is easier to work with at room temperature.
7. Preheat oven at 415F
8. On an oiled pizza stone or sheet begin to press, stretch and flip the dough until you get the desired shape and size. preferably dough should be 1/8-1/4 inch thick.
9. Now add your toppings. I usually start with some ginger-garlic paste (try our recipe https://youtu.be/LekaKOyYsxE ), tomato sauce, siracha, and some cheese before I add everything else.
10. Put in the oven for 15-20 min or until golden brown.
(Note: The pizza stone cooks the crust more evenly and it’s less likely to burn. A must-have for the pizza aficionado! )
