Whole Wheat Pizza Dough

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Whole Wheat Pizza Dough.

1. Step 1

   Start by warming some water in a large bowl, then stir in sugar until it’s fully dissolved.

2. Step 2

   Next, sprinkle the yeast on top and let it sit for about 10 minutes.

3. Step 3

   You’ll know it’s ready when it becomes nice and foamy, like a little yeast cloud! Once that’s done, add in the olive oil and salt, giving it a gentle mix.

4. Step 4

   Gradually incorporate the whole wheat flour along with one cup of all-purpose flour until the dough starts to come together.

5. Step 5

   Now, it’s time to get your hands a little floury! Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead it for about 10 minutes.

6. Step 6

   You want to work it until all the flour is absorbed and the dough feels smooth and elastic.

7. Step 7

   Once you’ve achieved that perfect texture, place the kneaded dough in an oiled bowl, turning it to coat all sides.

8. Step 8

   Cover it loosely with a towel and let it rise in a warm spot until it doubles in size, which should take around an hour.

9. Step 9

   After the dough has risen beautifully, turn it out onto a lightly floured surface.

10. Step 10

    Here’s where you can get creative: divide it into two pieces for thin crusts or keep it whole for a thick, hearty crust.

11. Step 11

    Shape the dough into a tight ball and return it to the oiled bowl, turning it again to coat.

12. Step 12

    Cover it loosely with a towel and let it rise once more in a warm place until it doubles again, which will take about 45 minutes.

13. Step 13

    While the dough is rising, preheat your oven and grease a large pizza pan to get ready for the deliciousness to come.

14. Step 14

    When the dough is ready, take one ball and roll it out with a rolling pin to your desired thickness.

15. Step 15

    For a fun twist, drape the dough over your fists and gently stretch it while rotating to form a perfect circle.

16. Step 16

    Now, place your beautifully stretched dough onto the prepared pizza pan and let your creativity shine as you top it with your favorite sauce, cheese, and toppings.

17. Step 17

    Finally, pop it in the oven and bake until it’s golden and crispy.

    Enjoy the delightful aroma filling your kitchen as you await your homemade pizza masterpiece!.
