Amazing Whole Wheat Pizza Crust Recipe
Amazing Whole Wheat Pizza Crust Recipe
Ingredients:
1 tsp. white sugar
1 1/2 cup warm water (110� F/45� C)
1 tbsp. active dry yeast
1 tbsp. olive oil
1 tsp. salt
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Directions:
In a glass bowl mix together the sugar and warm 110′ F water and make sure that the sugar dissolves completely. Put yeast on top. For 10 mins let your dough stand or just until the yeast is foamy.
Pour in salt and olive oil into the yeast mix. Next put a cup of all purpose flour & all the whole wheat flour. Mix them all until it all blends together well.
Flour your board and put your dough mixture and then knead it well and make sure that all the flour on the board is well absorbed by the dough and the dough itself will be smooth in appearance. This will take up to 10 mins.
Then place your dough inside a bowl that is already greased and make sure that all sides are evenly coated. Cover it then with cloth or towel. Put in a place that is warm and wait for it to rise. This will take about an hour.
After the dough has risen or has become double its size, put it on the board that has already been floured lightly and then divide it into two pieces to be able to produce two thin crusts or you can just leave it in 1 piece for a thicker crust.
Next, form the dough into a compact ball and make sure that it is tight and then let it rise again for 45 mins or until its size has become double.
Oven should be preheated to around 425′ F. Roll out the dough using the rolling pin and then stretch it to maximum capacity. Next drape the dough on both fists. Ever so slowly pull its edges toward the outside while you are rotating its crust.
After reaching your desired circle size you can now place it in your well greased pizza pan. You can now top the pizza crust with the desired cheeses, sauces, meat, vegetables and other toppings that you want.
In your oven, bake the pizza for around 16-20 mins or until you notice that the pizza crust has turned golden brown at its sides and crisp. Also make sure that your cheese has melted into your pizza.
