Can you believe that this dough is 100% whole wheat? Yet it handles so well – better than any pizza dough recipe I’ve ever tried.
1) Place the 1/2 cup warm water in a small bowl. Add the yeast and stir. Let sit for about 5 minutes, or until the yeast begins to swell. Add to the room temperature water and oil and stir.
2) Place the flour and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix briefly until combined. With mixer on low speed, slowly add the liquid ingredients. Mix just until a cohesive dough forms. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
3) Change to the dough hook attachment. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic, about 5 more minutes.
4) Oil or butter a medium-sized bowl. Transfer the dough to the prepared bowl. Cover with a kitchen towel or plastic wrap and place in a warm spot. Allow to rise for 1 ½-2 hours, or until it doubles in volume. The dough is now ready to be used in your recipe.
Makes enough dough for approximately 3 thin-crust, large-sized pizzas.

I used this recipe last night for a grilled pizza! It was delicious…or at least the second one was. The first one burst into flames!!!! Not exactly sure why, but it was interesting to say the least!

I made this dough tonight, but used unbleached white flour instead of whole wheat. It made enough dough to cover an entire cookie sheet (yay), so we made a really big pizza! It was delicious – we all loved the crust!

How do you freeze the dough, after it rises or before? I’m guessing after it rises, and how did you wrap it with a ziploc bag? Thanks for your help!

We made this dough last week and it was very good. We doubled the recipe and used 6 cups bread flour and 2 cups of whole wheat flour. (I love whole wheat but the kids not so much.)
I dusted with cornmeal, garlic powder and herbs de province as I was rolling the dough out.
It was very easy to work with!
Also, we cooked our pizzas at 425 until golden brown
Thanks for the recipe!

I made this pizza crust last night and my family loved it. I brushed the crust with olive oil and crushed garlic and baked for a few minutes at 425 and then put the toppings on and baked at 425 again. It was amazing. I grind my own flour and use the hard white wheat for everything. It was perfect in this recipe. Thanks!
