Whole Wheat Pizza Crust

Kaykwilts's Note:

This is so good. Even my kids and DH will eat this crust.

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Yield: 2 crusts

• 1 ½ cups water
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 ½ teaspoons olive oil
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 2 -4 cups whole wheat flour
• 2 tablespoons vital wheat gluten
• 1 ½ tablespoons yeast
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

Directions:

1. Mix water, oil, honey and yeast.
2. Add wheat gluton, garlic powder (optional) and two cups of the flour.
3. If you are using a mixer like a Bosch, Dimension or a KitchenAid you add additional flour until the sides of the mixer come clean.
4. Knead about 7 minutes in your mixer.
5. If mixing by hand add one cup at a time until the right consistence and knead until smooth and elastic.
6. If you choose you can let the dough rise but I just divide the dough and half and roll out one on my pizza stone.
7. After you roll the dough out pierce the rolled out pizza dough with a fork.
8. Bake the pizza crust 450 degrees for about five minutes.
9. Add your toppings such as sauce and cheese or whatever you want on pizza and then put back into the oven at 450 for about 10 minutes.
10. Repeat for the second crust.

Really good and so quick to make!! I was almost out of wheat gluten so I probably only used 1 TBS if that and it still turned out great. Next time I'll try it with the full amount however. I agree with others that this could maybe use a little more salt but other than that very good! I think you could almost make 3 crusts out of this! I let the dough rise for about 20 minutes and we had pretty thick crust even after dividing it in half. Thanks for posting, I'm sure i"ll be making this often!

The best whole wheat pizza dough I have tried so far. Light, lovely texture, easy to work with. However, I found it a little bland. I think maybe adding some herbs and more salt might help.
