Easy No Rise Whole Wheat Pizza Dough

This Easy No Rise Whole Wheat Pizza Dough comes together quickly using warm water, quick-rise yeast, whole wheat flour, and a touch of orange juice for tenderness. The dough is soft enough to press or roll out immediately without fermenting, making it a practical choice for speedy homemade pizza. It cooks to a lightly crisp crust suitable for various toppings.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup water warm
  • 1 quick-rise yeast 1/4 ounce package
  • 2 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 Tablespoons orange juice lukewarm

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Dissolve yeast in lukewarm water (105°F-110°F)in a medium bowl.
  2. Add flour, salt, sugar, olive oil, and orange juice to the yeast mixture. Combine all the ingredients together until they hold together and with your hands (dusted with flour) form a ball.
  3. Divide dough into two balls.
  4. Cover the pizza dough with a damp tea towel or plastic wrap, and let sit in the bowl while gathering pizza toppings.
  5. Lightly grease an iron skillet with olive oil. No oil is necessary if using a baking stone. Gently pat the dough into the prepared iron skillet or stone with your fingers.
  6. Add toppings (pizza sauce, cheese, cooked meats, herbs, or vegetables) and cook at 450°F for 15-20 minutes.
  7. Cool for 5 minutes before slicing the pizza.

Notes

  • This recipe yields enough dough for two 10-inch pizzas or one thick crust pizza.
  • Use quick-rise or instant yeast to ensure fast dough preparation and puffing.
  • If using a pizza stone, dust it lightly with cornmeal to prevent sticking.
  • For shaping dough on a stone or sheet pan, rolling with a pin gives an even thickness.
  • Dough can be made ahead and refrigerated for a few hours; cover and bring to room temperature before shaping.
