Weekly pizza night at our house has given us the opportunity to experiment with different crusts recipes and different toppings. One of these pizza experiments involved getting back to basics; we used a few very simple ingredients that resulted in major flavor and a delicious pizza that has since become one of my favorites to make and might become yours too! Give it a try!
Honey Whole Wheat Pizza Crust Recipe
Author: Ashley
Recipe type: Main, Easy Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 ¼ tsp yeast
- 1 cup warm water (105-115 degrees F)
- 1 tbsp honey
- ½ tsp salt
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 ¼ cup whole wheat flour
- 1 ¼ cup bread flour
- Additional ½ cup whole wheat & ½ cup bread flour—mixed in RESERVE
Instructions
- Begin by greasing a large bowl with Crisco or cooking spray in preparation for your pizza dough.
- Next, dissolve yeast and honey in warm water in a separate mixing bowl or measuring cup. Let stand for a few minutes for yeast to activate.
- Then combine dissolved yeast in a stand mixing bowl with salt, olive oil, whole wheat flour and bread flour (NOT RESERVE).
- Attach bread dough hook to stand mixer and knead dough on speed 2 for 1-1 ½ minutes.
- Slowly add in reserve flour a ½ cup at a time and continue to mix on speed 2 for 1-2 minutes. When dough begins to clean edges of the bowl and all loose flour is incorporated, mix for an additional 2 minutes.
- Remove hook and place dough in greased bowl, turn to coat all sides. (Note: spray your hands with cooking spray to help prevent dough sticking.)
- Cover with wax paper and place in a warm area free from draft to rise for 1 hour.
- After 1 hour, punch down dough. It is now ready to roll out!
- Choose to roll out entire portion of dough or divide to make smaller individual sized pizzas.
- To roll out dough, sprinkle pan or pizza peal with cornmeal and use a rolling pin. Thickness will depend on your preference.
- Spread with sauce, add toppings and bake or grill pizza!
