WHOLE WHEAT PIZZA DOUGH
Prep time: 5 minutes
Start to finish: 15 minutes
To make ahead: The dough will keep, in a plastic bag coated with cooking spray, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Ingredients
1 3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
1 package quick-rising yeast, such as Fleischmann's RapidRise
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2-2/3 cup hot water (120-130°F)
2 teaspoons olive oil
To make:
1. Combine whole-wheat flour, yeast, salt and sugar in a food processor; pulse to mix. Combine hot water and oil in a measuring cup. With the motor running, gradually pour in enough of the hot liquid until the mixture forms a sticky ball. The dough should be quite soft. If it seems dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons warm water; if too sticky, add 1 to 2 tablespoons flour. Process until the dough forms a ball, then process for 1 minute to knead. I put the flour, yeast, sugar and salt in the food processor to mix it up, but then transferred it to the mixing bowl on my stand mixer fixed with the bread hook attachment.
2. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Spray a sheet of plastic wrap with cooking spray and place it, sprayed-side down, over the dough. Let the dough rest for 10 to 20 minutes before rolling.
3. Roll out to desired thickness and place on a greased cookie sheet or pizza pan and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
4. Top partially baked crust with pizza sauce and desired toppings and finish baking until cheese is melted.
I don't really make homemade dough, because I'm always afraid it won't rise, or I'll kill the yeast or something. But let me tell you, this was so easy!
And, this was me being dramatic for photo purposes!
