Whole Wheat Pizza Dough
 
 
This dough can be made with a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook or kneaded by hand. It will make 2 large pizzas. If you aren't using both, you can freeze the dough and put in the refrigerator to defrost the night before you need it. I have also had good luck with par-baking then freezing personal pizza-sized crusts and topping with sauce and vegetables for a quick meal.

Recipe type: pizza dough
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 2 large pizza crusts
Ingredients
  • 1 packet (2¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for brushing dough ball
  • 2 teaspoons honey or sugar
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1½-1¾ cups all- purpose flour, plus more for dusting your work surface
  • 1¼ cups whole wheat pastry flour
  • 1 cup warm water (slightly warmer than lukewarm, 110˚F)
Instructions
  1. Put the warm water in a liquid measuring cup and stir in the honey or sugar until dissolved. Sprinkle the yeast on top and stir. Allow to sit for a few minutes until the yeast looks foamy. If it doesn't bubble and foam, start over again with new yeast and make sure water isn't too hot or cold.
  2. Whisk both flours (starting with 1½ cups all purpose flour) with the sea salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a dough hook or a large mixing bowl if mixing by hand. Create a well in the middle and pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir with a wooden spoon until it looks shaggy and mostly incorporated, adding the remaining all purpose flour if dough is too sticky.
  3. Mix with the dough hook on the mixer for 8 minutes, or knead by hand for about 10-15 minutes until the dough feels completely smooth and elastic, and is only slightly tacky to the touch. If dough is too sticky, add more flour a little at a time. Here and hereare great guides for knowing when dough has been kneaded enough.
  4. Form the dough into a ball, and rub with olive oil before putting it back in the bowl. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and allow the dough to rise for about an hour, or until doubled in size. Divide the dough in half and roll out and stretch it to size. If not using the other half, dough can be frozen in a freezer bag.
