How to Make Easy Healthy Whole Wheat Flax Pizza Crust

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) active dry yeast.
  3. Gradually add 1 cup warm water (105-115°F) to the dry ingredients, mixing vigorously with a wooden spoon or spatula until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed. Gradually add the remaining 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, mixing until a dough ball forms. Note: You may not need all of the remaining flour; add only until the dough comes together and is no longer sticky.
  5. Lightly flour a clean surface and gently knead the dough for 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic.
  6. Place the dough ball in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise for 5 minutes.
  7. Grease a 9-inch pie plate with olive oil or cooking spray.
  8. Gently press and stretch the dough into the prepared pie plate to form the crust.
  9. Add your favorite tomato sauce, toppings, and cheese.
  10. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
