Eating Well's Whole Wheat Pizza Dough

"Using half whole wheat and half all purpose flour yields a light crust with a distinctive nutty taste. Quick rising yeast shortens the rising time to just 10 minutes, making wholesome homemade pizza a possibility for busy weeknights. A food processor makes fast work of mixing the dough, but you can also use a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or a little elbow grease to do it by hand. Whichever method you choose, add enough liquid to the dry ingredients to make a soft dough. If kneading by hand, knead for about 10 minutes. The dough will keep, in a plastic bag coated with cooking spray, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days."

  1. This is so simple to make; the rising time is perfect for prepping all the toppings and sauce to put on your pizza. This made 2 9-in pizza crusts for me; I cooked my pizzas at 500 degrees for 8-10 minutes (til the cheese was bubbly) and the crust was perfect. Just a perfect recipe for pizza crust. Your pizza will likely be done before someone could deliver one far less delicious and healthy to your home.
     
  2. So, I made the dough and got to the end of the recipe before it was cooked. I just discovered that this recipe has no baking instructions.
     
  3. As one who spends much time in my laboratory...urrr kitchen, while fine tuning my chemical processing activities...uurrummm I mean cooking skills, I have ascertained that the pureness of homemade minus the traces of methylparaben, glycerin or glutaraldehyde is far superior to its 'take-out' counterpart.
     
  4. Great recipe! Thanks for sharing. The dough would have tasted great with some herbs mixed in, which I might try the next time. Rose beautifully in about 15 minutes. Fam loved it!
     
  5. Excellent recipe, it was exactly what I wanted. Using the food processor made it so unbelievably easy! When baked, the crust turned soft and chewy, which is just the way I like it. I also like that it's partially whole wheat. Thanks for sharing, will make again!
