How to Make 100 Whole Wheat Multipurpose Dough Pizza Buns Bread

  1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup (240ml) lukewarm water, 2 teaspoons active dry yeast, and 1 tablespoon honey. Let stand for 5-10 minutes until foamy.
  2. Add 3 cups (375g) whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 cup (50g) olive oil to the yeast mixture.
  3. Stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, adding more flour as needed, until the dough is smooth and elastic.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or up to 3 days. (Alternatively, freeze for up to 3 months)
  6. Punch down the dough and divide it into your desired portions (e.g., for pizza, roll out one large disc; for buns, divide into smaller balls).
  7. Shape the dough into your chosen form (pizza, pretzel, or bun).
  8. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C). If making pizza, pre-bake the crust for 5-7 minutes before adding toppings.
  9. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through. For buns, you may need to brush with an egg wash before baking for an extra golden-brown crust.
  10. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
