  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

Whole Wheat Pizza Dough In A Bread Machine
    Cup of Yum
  1. Add crust ingredients (in the order listed) to the bread pan of your bread machine. Process according the manufacturer’s instructions for the dough setting. (Don’t be afraid to open the lid to check on it. The dough should come together to a nice, soft and slightly tacky ball after a little knead time. If the dough looks too moist, add more flour a teaspoon at a time. If it looks too dry, add warm water a bit at a time.)
  2. When the dough is done, remove it from the bread machine.
Whole Wheat Pizza Dough In A Stand Mixer
  1. Mix all ingredients well with a dough hook for 5-7 minutes, until a nice elastic ball forms. Cover and place in a warm place to rise until doubled (1 hour). Punch the dough down to deflate it and then let it rise, covered, a second time, until you are ready to make your pizza.
Making the Pizza
  1. Preheat oven to 375F. Generously dust your pizza stone with cornmeal (or grease your pizza pan.
  2. Roll out into a 14 inch circle. Place dough on your baking stone, prick the dough with a fork so that it doesn’t bubble and brush lightly with olive oil. Cover and let rise 20 min.
  3. Place in the oven and par-bake for 4- 5 minutes.
  4. Remove from oven. Add sauce and toppings.
  5. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until cheese is melted and crust is golden.

Notes

  • Make Pizza Dough Ahead: The dough may be wrapped in plastic wrap and refrigerated for up to 10 days after making. Or, it can be frozen for up to 3 months. Let the dough come to room temperature before rolling out to make your pizza. (For refrigerated dough this takes about 30 minutes on the counter. Frozen dough should be placed in the refrigerator for 12 hours, before setting on the counter for 30 min.)
