Whole Wheat Pizza Crust For Bread Machine Recipes

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:

• Place all ingredients in bread machine in order listed. Run on dough cycle. When done, fix as desired and bake 18 to 20 minutes at 400 degrees.

Steps:

• Place ingredients, in order listed, in bread pan fitted with kneading paddle. Select Dough/Pizza Dough cycle. When completed, deflate dough and use to make your favorite pizza.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In medium bowl, dissolve yeast in water and let sit until foamy. Add flour; mix until well combined. Stir in salt. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rise in warm place 45 minutes.
• Lightly coat 12 inch pizza pan with nonstick cooking spray. Scrape dough out of bowl and onto prepared pan. With floured hands, press dough into circles to edges of pan.
• Bake 15 minutes or until edges are brown and crisp. Top as desired.

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.
