100% Whole Wheat Pizza Dough
You'll love this 100% Whole Wheat Pizza Dough! Easily made in a stand mixer, food processor, or by hand, homemade dough is a fool-proof family favorite.
Ingredients
- 1 cup warm water {`110 degrees F}
- 2 1/4 tsp active dry instant yeast {2 & 1/4 tsp = 1 envelope}
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp vital wheat gluten {leave out if using all-purpose flour}
- 2.5-3 cups whole wheat pastry flour
Instructions
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, dissolve the yeast in the warm water, add other ingredients, and mix for 2-5 min on low until the dough has cleaned the sides of the bowl.
- Remove the dough and drizzle a bit of olive oil around the edges of the mixing bowl, and coat all sides of the dough with the oil.
- Cover with a warm damp kitchen towel, and allow the dough to rise until doubled (time will depend on the temp of your kitchen).
To Bake the Pizza
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Place a pizza stone in the oven while it heats.
- Sprinkle cornmeal on the hot pan, and spread the dough around with your hands or a rolling pin.
- Cover with your preferred toppings. Bake until the cheese is hot and bubbling (usually 15-20 minutes). Check and rotate at 10 minutes.
Notes
If your kitchen is on the cool side, you can preheat your oven to 200 degrees F and then turn it off. Place the bowl in the oven for 20-30 minutes until doubled in size. You can also add a bit of olive oil to an Instant Pot and proof it with a glass lid on the yogurt setting for 10-15 minutes.
You can also mix by hand or use the dough blade in a food processor.
Need to use all-purpose flour? Measurements remain the same, but exclude the vital wheat gluten.
