How to Make 100 Whole Wheat Pizza Dough And Pizza Tips
- In a large bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
- Add the whole wheat flour, olive oil, salt, and vital wheat gluten (if using).
- Mix with a wooden spoon or your hands until a shaggy dough forms.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Add a little more flour if the dough is too sticky.
- Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 1-1.5 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Punch down the dough and divide it in half (or into the number of pizzas you're making).
- Shape each portion into a round or rectangular pizza crust.
- Preheat your oven to its highest temperature (usually around 500-550°F or 260-288°C) with a pizza stone or baking steel inside for at least 30 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the pizza crust to a pizza peel or baking sheet sprinkled with cornmeal.
- Top with your favorite pizza sauce, cheese, and toppings.
- Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking steel.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
