Best 4 Multigrain Pizza Crust Recipes

WHOLE-MULTIGRAIN PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a small pot. Add the bulgur and quinoa and simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer the grains to a fine-mesh strainer and hold under cold water to stop the cooking. Let the grains drain in the strainer for 15 minutes, then spread them out on a thick layer of paper towels to absorb any extra moisture. Meanwhile, coarsely grind the flaxseeds in a spice grinder, just to break them open.
• Stir together the warm water, agave and yeast in a measuring cup or small bowl. Let sit until a small layer of foam develops at the top, 3 to 5 minutes. (If this doesn't happen, discard and try again with new yeast.)
• Whisk the flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a medium bowl; add the foamy yeast mixture and olive oil and mix together with a stiff rubber spatula. When the dough starts to come together, mix in the cooked grains, ground flaxseeds and sunflower seeds; form the dough into a uniform ball in the center of the bowl. Be sure to scrape and use any dough stuck to the sides. The dough will be very sticky at this stage. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and keep in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size, about 2 hours.
• Lightly dust a baking sheet with flour. Sprinkle a generous amount of flour on a clean, dry work surface. Scrape the dough onto the floured surface and knead for a couple of minutes, working in just enough flour to make the dough less sticky but still moist to the touch. Flour your hands periodically to prevent sticking. Form the dough into one single ball or divide it into smaller balls. Place the dough ball(s) on the prepared baking sheet. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a dish towel and let the dough rest for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, the dough can be shaped and cooked as desired.

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Blend all dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and add wet ingredients. Mix until a soft dough forms (you may need to add a little extra milk to get the right consistency).
• Turn dough out onto a floured board and knead 10 times. Divide dough into 4 balls. Roll each ball out into a disc. Brush with additional olive oil if desired.
• Place on sheet pan or pizza stone.
• Top with desired sauce, toppings and cheese.
• Bake for 10 min or until crust is slightly golden and crisp. Slice and serve hot.

MULTIGRAIN PIZZA CRUST RECIPE

Steps:

• Place 3/4 C of the flour and all of the cornmeal, wheat bran, oats, yeast, and salt in a large bowl, and stir to mix well.
• Place the water or milk and the honey in a small saucepan, and heat until very warm (125 F to 130 F.) Add the water mixture to the flour mixture and stir for 1 minute.
• Stir in enough of the remaining flour, 2 Tablespoons at a time, to form a soft dough.
• Sprinkle 2 Tablespoons of the remaining flour over a flat surface and turn the dough onto the surface.
• Knead the dough for 5 minutes, gradually adding just enough of the remaining flour to form a smooth, satiny ball.
• (Be careful not to make the dough too stiff, or it will be hard to roll out.) Coat a large bowl with nonstick cooking spray and place the ball of dough in the bowl.
• Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for about 35 minutes, or until doubled in size.
• When the dough has risen, punch it down, shape it into a ball, and turn it onto a floured surface.
• The dough is now ready for shaping, topping, and baking.
• To make pizza dough in bread machine: Place all of the dough ingredients except for 2 Tablespoons of the bread flour in the machine's bread pan.
• (Do not heat the water or milk.) Turn the machine on to the"rise","dough", or"manual" setting so that the machine will mix, knead, and let the dough rise once.
• Check the dough about 5 minutes after the machine has started.
• If the dough seems too sticky, add more of the remaining flour, a Tablespoon at a time.
• When the dough is ready, remove it from the machine and proceed to shape, top, and bake it as directed in the recipe.
