Quick Whole Wheat Pizza Dough Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, salt and whole wheat flour; set aside. In a small saucepan, heat water and oil to 120°-130°; stir into dry ingredients. Stir in enough white whole wheat flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky)., Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 10 minutes. Punch down dough; divide into 3 portions. Use immediately, refrigerate overnight or freeze for up to 1 month.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water. Sprinkle yeast over the top, and let stand for about 10 minutes, until foamy.
• Stir the olive oil and salt into the yeast mixture, then mix in the whole wheat flour and 1 cup of the all-purpose flour until dough starts to come together. Tip dough out onto a surface floured with the remaining all-purpose flour, and knead until all of the flour has been absorbed, and the ball of dough becomes smooth, about 10 minutes. Place dough in an oiled bowl, and turn to coat the surface. Cover loosely with a towel, and let stand in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• When the dough is doubled, tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and divide into 2 pieces for 2 thin crust, or leave whole to make one thick crust. Form into a tight ball. Let rise for about 45 minutes, until doubled.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Roll a ball of dough with a rolling pin until it will not stretch any further. Then, drape it over both of your fists, and gently pull the edges outward, while rotating the crust. When the circle has reached the desired size, place on a well oiled pizza pan. Top pizza with your favorite toppings, such as sauce, cheese, meats, or vegetables.
• Bake for 16 to 20 minutes (depending on thickness) in the preheated oven, until the crust is crisp and golden at the edges, and cheese is melted on the top.

Steps:

• Dissolve yeast in 1 cup of water, stir in olive oil and set aside.
• Combine the all-purpose flour with whole-wheat flour and salt in a food processor. Process with steel knife blade for a few seconds to blend. With processor running, slowly pour yeast mixture through the feed tube and continue to process until a firm, smooth and elastic ball of dough forms. If the mixture is too dry to cohere, you may have to add another tablespoon or so of warm water. If it is too soft, add a little more all-purpose flour.
• Remove dough from processor and wrap in plastic. Refrigerate for at least 10 minutes or up to one day.

Steps:

• Place water in a large bowl. Sprinkle with yeast. Allow to stand until yeast starts to react and "foam," about 5 minutes. Whisk in sugar, oil, salt. Then add flours, stirring w/ a wooden spoon until a sticky dough forms.
• Using a second large bowl, coat bowl w/ oilve oil. Transfer dough to new bowl. Brush top of dough w/ oil. Cover bowl w/ plastic wrap.
• Allow to stand in a warm place until doubled, approx 1 hour. (I use my warming drawer, set to "proof" temperature.)
• Turn risen dough out onto floured surface. With floured hands, knead about 15 seconds. Divide into 2 (one-pound) balls.
• IF FREEZING: place two balls, OR four shells on parchment paper, in freezer till firm. Place in freezer bags up to 3 months. Shells may be topped & baked from frozen!

Steps:

• Mix whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl using a spoon. Pour in water and oil; mix until dough no longer sticks to the bowl. Turn dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 to 8 minutes.
• Transfer dough to a greased bowl; cover bowl with a clean towel. Place bowl in the oven with the light turned on until risen, about 1 hour.

Steps:

• Combine flours, 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 tbsp warm water; if too sticky, add 1 to 2 tbsp flour.
• Process until the dough forms a ball, then process for 1 minute to knead.
• 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.

Steps:

• Stir yeast and sugar into warm water in a large bowl; set aside until liquid starts to bubble and foam, 5 to 10 minutes. Mix in oil. Add flour and salt, stirring until dough is smooth; stir in more flour as needed.
• Knead dough on a lightly floured surface for about 5 minutes and place in a large bowl; cover bowl with a damp towel. Allow dough to rise for 20 to 30 minutes. Place dough on a pizza stone and roll out with a rolling pin.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450.
• Mix yeast in water until foamy.
• Stir in oil and flours until it forms a ball.
• Cover the bowl with a towel and place the bowl on your stove while the oven is preheating.
• Let rise for 15 minutes.
• Roll onto baking pan.
• Cover with toppings. Bake for 20 minutes until crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and browning on top.
