Whole Wheat Pizza Dough
| Whole Wheat Pizza Dough (Adapted from Eating Well) 1 cup whole wheat flour 1 cup all purpose flour 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon sugar 3/4 cup warm water 1 tablespoon olive oil Combine flours, yeast, salt, and sugar in a food processor; pulse to mix. Combine warm water and oil in a measuring cup. With the motor running, gradually pour in enough of the liquid until the mixture forms a sticky ball. The dough should be quite soft. If it seems dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of warm water; if too sticky, add 1 to 2 tablespoons flour. Process until the dough forms a ball, then process for 1 minute to knead. Lightly coat a large bowl with cooking spray. Place dough inside, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap or a damp towel and let rise about an hour, or until doubled in size. Punch down and let the dough rest for about 10 minutes before rolling. *If you want to knead by hand feel free - knead for about 10 minutes. As made, this recipe makes about 1 pound of dough. If you would like to make about 12 ounces of dough, here is the ingredient list to follow - the directions to prepare the dough is the same. 3/4 cup whole wheat flour 3/4 cup all purpose flour 2 1/4 teaspoons instant yeast 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon sugar 1/2 cup warm water (may need slightly more) 2 teaspoons olive oil |

post a commentI buy my yeast in the huge container at Costco. Do you know how many teaspons of yeast comes in the small packages you referred to? Thanks!!! Recipe looks great!
Hi Amanda,
I buy the same thing. 1 package is 2 1/4 teaspoons
I'm new to cooking with whole wheat flour, but this is one of my new favorites and I think the best pizza crust I've ever made. The texture is great and just the right amount whole wheat in the background. You would never be able to pick it out if someone didn't tell you. Hearty & rustic but still not too heavy and couldn't be much easier to make.
Jeremy - We really love this pizza dough and use it lots of different ways. It is great for calzones too!
Hi Joe, can I make this dough in advance? And can you freeze it, how would you proceed to making the pizza? Thanks, I made your chicken chili with hominy and it was fantastic. Thanks, Beth
Beth - I've never made it in advance, but I don't see why you couldn't. It would probably keep for a couple days in the fridge. If you freeze it, you would probably do it after the first rise and then thaw it overnight in the refrigerator. Then bring it back to room temperature and it should be easy to work with!
I've frozen the dough and it's still fabulous. I did exactly as you suggested here, let it thaw in the fridge overnight and then brought it to room temp before shaping and proceeding as usual. Great recipe!
Brilynn - Awesome, thanks for letting us know! I'll have to try that one of these days.
How hot is "hot"?
Anon - warm water, about 105 to 115 degrees.
YUM my dad makes the best (blue ribbon from CA state fair) whole wheat bread. He grinds his whole wheat. I am going to try this pizza dough. Thanks
You've got to try it with honey in place of the sugar, let it proof with the yeast for 10 minutes, and put the dough ball in the fridge over night. The flavors and texture that develop are great!
