We all love pizza, right? If you are anything like me, cravings for things I should not have inhibit my ability to think rationally and pizza is right up there with Twizzlers and dark chocolate. Unfortunately, the average caloric intake of a slice of Dominos deep dish is not worth it for some of us. So I did some searching and tried a couple of pizza dough recipes. This one is my favorite so far and I wanted to share it because it is just oh so yummy.
Whole Wheat Pizza Dough
Prep time: 20 minutes + 30-60 minutes rest time
Cook time: 425 degrees for 16-20 min
1 tsp white sugar
1 1/2 cup warm water (110 degrees)
1Tbs active dry yeast
1 Tbs olive oil
1 tsp
salt
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (seperated)
1. In large bowl place your water and sugar. Sprinkle the yeast on top of the water and let sit about 10 minutes til foamy.
2. Stir in your oil and salt.
3. Add your wheat flour and 1 cup of the all-purpose flour. Stir til dough comes together.
4. Spread your remaining 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour on a hard surface and pour the dough onto the flour. Knead dough until all of the flour has been picked up and dough is smooth (about 10 minutes).
5. In medium bowl, pour a bit of oil and turn dough til covered in the oil.
6. Cover, lightly with a tea towel and allow to rise in warm room for about and hour or til double in size.
7. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
This makes a thick crust pizza so for thin crust divide your dough into two pieces. Roll out, add your toppings and bake on oiled baking sheet 16-20 minutes.
Enjoy!
