Whole Red Wheat Flour Pizza Dough
This delicious, whole red wheat flour pizza dough gives your crust a unique, nutty flavor! It also creates a more rustic and artisan pizza crust!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup Water Warm, between 100-110 F.
- ½ Tbsp Active Dry Yeast
- ½ Tbsp Honey
- ½ tsp Salt
- 1 ½ cups Whole Red Wheat Flour Or Whole Wheat Flour or White Whole Wheat Flour.
- 2 Tbsp Whole Red Wheat Flour This is in addition to the 1 1/2 cups
- 1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil Plus a little more for brushing the dough and coating the mixing bowl (and also your pizza pan, if using)
Instructions
- Combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and honey in a mixing bowl. Cover and let it rest for 5 minutes, and in the meantime, attach your dough hook attachment to your stand mixer. Use a large mixing bowl if you do not have a stand mixer.
- Whisk together the flour and salt.
- Add the yeast, water, and honey mixture into the stand mixer bowl. Turn the stand mixer on low and add the flour and salt mixture a little at a time.
- When half the flour and salt are in, add in the olive oil.
- Continue adding the rest of the flour until everything is combined well, about 6 minutes. The dough will still feel soft; poke it with your finger – if it slowly bounces back, it is ready. If not, mix again for 2 minutes and recheck it.
- When the dough is ready, put about a teaspoon of olive oil on it and rotate it a few times to coat all sides. Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel or a bowl cover.
- Allow the dough to rise at room temperature for 2 hours or until doubled in size.
- After the whole red wheat pizza dough has doubled in size, punch it down to release the air.
- Preheat the oven to 475 F
- Gently flatten the dough into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin if you wish. If using a pizza stone, I place the dough on parchment paper to transfer it, or you can use a pizza peel if you prefer. If using a pizza pan, lightly brush it with olive oil.
- Top your pizza with desired toppings and bake for 15-16 minutes, unless using a pizza stone, then it will take 10 minutes plus 5 minutes on the pizza stone.
- Let hot pizza stand for 3-5 minutes, then slice and serve immediately.
