BREAD MACHINE WHOLE WHEAT PIZZA DOUGH
Here's a healthier alternative to white flour pizza dough and it tastes good too! You can use sugar or honey as the sweetener. I like my dough on the sweeter side so I use two tsp sugar or two tbs honey. This dough can be frozen if you're not using the whole batch. If you plan to use part of it right away and part of it within...

Steps:
- 1. Place all ingredients in bread machine in order listed. Start dough cycle.
- 2. When cycle is done, add a few tablespoons of olive oil to a glass bowl. Remove dough to bowl and turn to coat.
- 3. If using immediately, stretch out onto your pan or stone with oiled hands to desired level of thickness. Let dough rest for 15 minutes.
- 4. Poke several holes throughout the surface with a fork. Top as desired and bake in a 400 degree oven for 18-20 minutes. If a crispier crust is desired, bake crust by itself for 5 minutes. Remove and add toppings and then bake for the remaining time.
- 5. If all or part of the dough is going to be used within the next 24-36 hours, leave in bowl making sure dough is coated with oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate. Let dough return to room temperature before using, approximately 15-20 minutes.
- 6. If dough is to be frozen, wrap tightly in plastic wrap. If possible, vacuum seal, otherwise wrap plastic wrapped dough in foil and place in freezer. Dough will need to thaw 4-6 hours before use.

Steps:
- Pour water into bowl and sprinkle in the yeast. Stir until it has dissolved.
- Add the unbleached flour, salt and oil. Mix thoroughly with a spoon. Add one and three-fourths cups of the whole wheat flour and mix. You will have a soft dough that will begin to pull away from the sides of the bowl.
- From the remaining flour, lightly sprinkle the work surface. Remove the dough from the bowl and knead in the remaining flour (use only as much as it takes to keep the dough from sticking to your hands). Knead for at least 10 minutes until the dough becomes soft and elastic.
- Place the ball of dough in a lightly oiled bowl. Brush the dough with a light coat of oil and cover the top of the bowl tightly with plastic wrap. Place the bowl in a warm, draft-free area and allow the dough to double in size. Depending on the temperature, it will take one to three hours. Alternatively, place the bowl in an oven with the pilot light on and the dough will take 40 to 50 minutes to rise.
- When the dough has doubled in bulk, punch it down with your fist. Pull the dough together and place it on a floured surface. Divide it into four equal parts. Roll each one out to form a 10-inch pizza shell.
- Place an unglazed pizza tile in the oven and preheat the oven to 500 degrees for one hour. Lightly flour the pizza tile and slide the dough on top (if using a pizza pan, simply press the dough into the pan). Put the pizza in the oven and bake for 10 minutes.

Steps:
- Mix all ingredients with a spoon for about 1 minute or use paddle on electric mixer for 1 minute.
- Rest for 5 minutes to hydrate dough. Cover while resting.
- Mix by hand or with dough hook on electric mixer for 5 to 6 minutes.
- Using a little oil on the counter and hands scrape onto counter and stretch by pulling on the bottom of the dough until a rectangle about 1/3 as thick as the dough is formed. Stretch and fold the dough as you would a letter. Do the same with the ends until a folded package is formed. Turn over and pull the dough to the bottom forming a smooth ball.
- Using a dough scraper or knife, cut and weigh our 5 equal pieces about 8 oz. each or 227 g.
- Form each piece into a ball.
- Spray with oil and place each piece into a plastic sandwich bag or freezer bag that has also been sprayed inside with oil.
- Rest overnight (or up to 4 days in the fridge) or freeze for up to several months.
- Thaw frozen dough in the fridge for a day before cooking.
- On baking day, set out desired number of bags, remove from the bags onto an oiled pan or work surface. Gently press into discs, spray with oil and cover with oiled plastic.
- Preheat oven with pizza stone to 500F or slightly more if possible.
- Prepare toppings.
- Using flour, shape the dough using gravity and your knuckels, rotate and strech until desired size is reached (10 to 12 inches). It should be thicker along the rim and thin, but not paper thin.
- Place on parchment paper and add sauce, cheese and toppings.
- Place on stone and bake until cheese is bubbly and crust is browned. This will take 7 to 8 minutes at 500°F.
- Tip: Use canned whole peeled plum tomatoes deseeded, salted, slightly mixed with immersion blender and strained of some water for the sauce. Pinch of sugar helps remove any bitterness and provides correct consistency. Don't cook sauce.
GUILT FREE WHOLE WHEAT PIZZA DOUGH
Soooo good! And only 70calories per slice (at an average of 8 slices, and sauce that has 60cal. per 1/2 cup), it's fantastic. Although I did burn the bottom of the pizza the first time I made it, this pizza tastes just as good as the market restaurant I went to in central Toronto; a thin crust delight that's sure to please. (Note: Add 1/2 a tsp. more yeast for bigger crust)

Steps:
- Sift together flour, salt, & yeast in bowl of mixer. By hand stir in oil & cold water until flour is all absorbed. Add herbs. Switch to dough hook & mix on medium speed for 5 - 7 minutes. The dough should clear sides of bowl but may stick to bottom. Add touch of water or flour to reach desired effect. The finished dough will be springy, elastic, and sticky, not just tacky. Transfer dough to floured countertop. Cut into 6 pieces & mold each into ball. Rub each with olive oil & slip into plastic sandwich bags. Refrigerate overnight. When ready to make pizza (anytime in next few days), remove desired number of dough balls from refrigerator at least 1 hour before making pizza. Keep covered so they don't dry out. Each dough ball will roll or pull out into 12 inch disc. Let rest if it keeps springing back to smaller size. If grilling, oil one side & put oiled side down on grill. Oil top. When bottom is golden, flip. Get toppings on quickly. Check botton of dough frequently & when deeply golden, remove. If baking, preheat oven to 450 degrees. Use baking stone or back of sheet pan prepared with flour or cornmeal. Add toppings & bake until crust is crisp & nicely colored.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final product, so make sure to use the best flour, yeast, salt, and water that you can find.
- Knead the dough properly: Kneading the dough helps to develop the gluten, which gives the dough its elasticity and strength. Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes, or until it is smooth and elastic.
- Let the dough rise: Rising the dough allows the yeast to ferment and produce carbon dioxide, which creates the air pockets that give pizza dough its characteristic light and airy texture. Let the dough rise for at least 1 hour, or until it has doubled in size.
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to the highest temperature possible before baking the pizza. This will help to create a crispy crust.
- Use a pizza stone or baking sheet: A pizza stone or baking sheet will help to evenly distribute the heat and prevent the pizza from sticking to the pan.
- Don't overload the pizza: Don't pile too many toppings on the pizza, as this will make it difficult to cook evenly. A good rule of thumb is to use no more than 1/2 cup of toppings per 12-inch pizza.
- Bake the pizza until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly: This will usually take about 10-12 minutes.
Conclusion:
Making whole wheat pizza dough is a great way to enjoy a delicious and healthy pizza. By following these tips, you can make a pizza that is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, with a flavorful whole wheat crust. So next time you're craving pizza, try making it with whole wheat dough. You won't be disappointed!
