How to Make Easy Healthy Whole Wheat Flax Pizza Crust
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Lightly flour a clean surface and gently knead the dough for 2-3 minutes until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough ball in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let rise for 5 minutes.
- Grease a 9-inch pie plate with olive oil or cooking spray.
- Gently press and stretch the dough into the prepared pie plate to form the crust.
- Add your favorite tomato sauce, toppings, and cheese.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
