Fast and Easy Whole Wheat Pizza Dough
Ready In: 30 mins
Yields: 2 Pizza Doughs
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast (or 1 package of dry yeast)
- 1 1⁄2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 1⁄2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Directions
- In large mixing bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water. Sprinkle yeast over water and let stand for 10 minutes or until foamy. Meanwhile, combine flours and salt.
- Stir oil into foamy yeast mixture. Stir in about half the flour mixture. Add more flour, mixing until dough can be gathered into a slightly sticky ball (you may need a little more or less than 3 cups of flour).
- On lightly floured surface, kneed dough for about 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic, adding more flour as necessary to prevent dough from stick to counter. Cut dough in half; cover with waxed paper and let rest for 10 minutes.
- On lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll each piece of dough into a 12-inch circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Transfer rounds to 2 lightly oiled pizza pans or baking sheets. Carefully, using fingers, stretch dough into large circles.
- Let dough rise for about 15 minutes before adding toppings. For a thicker crust let dough rise for 30 minutes.
- Add toppings just before baking.
- Makes two 12 inch pizza rounds.
