Ingredients

  • 1 cup warm water
  • 1 1/4 ounce package of quick-rise yeast
  • 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 pizza dough can be divided to make two 10-inch pizzas or you can make one thick pizza crust.
  • Make sure that you pick up quick rise or instant yeast. So, that your dough rises quickly and won't have a long rise time.
  • If you are using a pizza stone, you can dust it with a little bit of cornmeal to prevent your dough from sticking.
  • I've found that using a rolling pin is the best way to roll out the dough if you are using a baking sheet or pizza stone to cook your pizza.
  • You can make this yeasted dough ahead, and allow it to sit in the fridge for up to a few hours if you want to save a little time in the evening. Just place the dough ball in an oiled bowl and cover it with a light towel and store it in the fridge. Take it out and let it warm up a little bit before you roll or press it out.
