How to Make Whole Grain Pizza Dough

  1. In a large bowl, dissolve yeast, olive oil, and molasses in warm water. Let stand for 5 minutes until foamy.
  2. Stir in salt.
  3. Gradually add whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour, mixing until a shaggy dough forms.
  4. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5-7 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Add a little more flour if the dough is too sticky.
  5. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, turning to coat. Cover with plastic wrap and let rise in a warm place for 20 minutes.
  6. Preheat your oven to desired temperature (usually 400-450°F).
  7. Punch down the dough and roll it out to your desired thickness and shape for your pizza pan.
  8. For a crispier crust, you may let it rise for another 10 minutes before adding your toppings.
  9. Add your favorite pizza sauce and toppings. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
