Update: I have remade this recipe and finally took a picture of just the dough!
This post is all about the pizza dough, hence the name Whole Wheat Pizza Dough. I did try a barbecue blt pizza topping, but it was not that good and the whole family agreed I should never make it again. But that dealt with just the toppings, we all loved the crust.
I really wish I had taken a picture of just the dough, but I am so used to taking pictures of the finished product, it never occurred to me to take a picture of just the dough. That is until now, which of course is too late. Oh well, lesson learned for next time.
Whole Wheat Pizza Dough
Ingredients:
- 1 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon honey
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 teaspoon oil olive
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with the dough hook, add the honey, warm water and stir to dissolve. Sprinkle the yeast over top and let it sit for 5 minutes.
- Add in the olive oil and turn the mixer on low.
- Gradually add in both flours, increase the speed as you go.
- Add in the salt and continue to mix until the dough forms a ball. Remove the dough and form a smooth ball.
