WHOLE WHEAT PIZZA DOUGH RECIPE

Whole Wheat Pizza Dough Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup all purpose flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 package quick-rise yeast (2 ¼ tablespoons)

½ teaspoon sugar

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

¾ cup hot water

METHOD:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F or the highest possible setting. Place an inverted baking sheet or pizza stone on the lowest rack.

Mix the flours, yeast, sugar, and salt in a food processor on the pulse setting. Combing the oil and hot water and pour this liquid in slowly until the dough has formed a sticky ball. If the dough is dry, add a tablespoon or 2 of warm water. If it is too sticky, add a tablespoon or 2 of flour.

Knead the dough ball for a minute and transfer it to a lightly floured board. Coat a sheet of plastic wrap with cooking spray and place it over the dough, sprayed side down. Let the dough rest for 10 to 20 minutes before rolling it out into a 12 or 13 inch round. Add your choice of toppings.

Bake the pizza on the inverted baking sheet or pizza stone until the bottom is crisp and golden. This should take 10 to 14 minutes.
