Two balls of whole wheat pizza dough

Whole Wheat Pizza Dough

Ingredients 

  • 1 cup Water warm
  • teaspoons Active Dry Yeast 1 package
  • cups Whole Wheat Flour
  • 2 Tablespoons Canola Oil Or olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • cups All-Purpose Flour
  • Non-Stick Cooking Spray

Equipment

  • Large Mixing Bowl 2

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, add water, yeast, and whole wheat flour. Mix well.
  • Add oil, salt, and 1¼ cups all-purpose flour. Mix well. If dough is very sticky, add remaining ¼ cup all-purpose flour. Blend until dough holds its shape.
  • Place dough on a lightly floured surface. Knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Knead by pushing down and forward on the dough with the palms of your hands. Fold dough over onto itself. Push down and forward again.
  • Spray large bowl with non-stick cooking spray. Add dough. Cover with plastic wrap. Let sit at room temperature to rest and soften, about 30-60 minutes.
  • When dough is soft and supple, remove from bowl. Knead again for 1-2 minutes. Divide evenly into 2 balls.

Notes

  • If you only want to make one pizza, or if you plan to make the pizza another time, save one or both dough balls for later use. Store dough in a lightly oiled zip-top plastic bag for up to 2 days in the refrigerator or 1 month in the freezer. Defrost frozen dough in the refrigerator overnight. Let refrigerated dough come to room temperature on the counter before using.
