Whole Wheat Pizza Dough
Whole Wheat Pizza Dough
Yield: 1 ball of dough
Prep Time: 15 min + resting time
Cook Time: 10 min
SO easy to make. Great, crispy crust. We use this for every pizza we make.
Ingredients:
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon granulated white sugar
3/4 cup hot water (120° to 130°F)
1 tablespoon extra- virgin olive oilDirections:
1. Combine flours, yeast, salt and sugar in a food processor; pulse to mix. Combine hot water and oil in a measuring cup. With the motor running, gradually pour in enough of the hot liquid until the mixture forms a sticky ball. The dough should be quite soft. If it seems dry, add 1 to 2 Tablespoons warm water; if too sticky, add 1 to 2 Tablespoons of flour. Process until dough forms a ball, then process for 1 minute to knead.
2. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Coat a sheet of plastic wrap with cooking spray and place it, sprayed-side down, over the dough. Let the dough rest for 10 to 20 minutes before rolling.
3. Place a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet on the lowest oven rack; preheat oven to 500°F. or highest setting. Roll and top the pizza as desired and bake the pizza until the bottom is crisp and golden, 10 to 14 minutes.

Hi! Thank you for all of the great formulas for great food!! Here’s where I think I need further assustance:
Even when I have new yeast, my pizza doughs either don’t rise very much or go way over the other end of the chart. I use (SAF) instant yeast. Are the measurements different whem using instant yeast vs regular? Should the water temp be different when using the instant? Please advise. Thank you. MM-

I’m not really all that familiar w/ the different yeasts- just that some recipes call for one or the other. I believe the water temperature is the same for all. I’d suggest just making sure that you are using a place to rise that is a mild warm temperature, not too hot and not cool. I like to use the oven- just turn on the light (not the heat) and it seems to be a good place for rising. I always place a clean dish towel on top of my bowl of dough. Those are my tips!
