100% Whole Wheat Pizza Homemade

⏱ 57 mins 🍽 8 slices, 3-4 serving(s) 🏷 Snack

This recipe offers a healthier pizza base using 100% whole wheat flour, which avoids the rapid sugar conversion associated with white flour. The straightforward method involves activating yeast and combining it with flour, salt, and olive oil to form a smooth dough. After shaping the base directly on a floured surface or pizza paddle, you add your chosen toppings and bake. The entire process, from mixing to a finished pizza, takes roughly 45 to 60 minutes.

100% Whole Wheat Pizza Homemade

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour (100% whole wheat)
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese
  • 1 teaspoon yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 cup water (very warm)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 4 -5 tablespoons olive oil
  • pizza toppings

Method

  1. If you have a pizza stone, place it in your oven and begin preheating to 475 degrees fahrenheit.
  2. To make the dough, start by activating the yeast. Place 1 teaspoon of yeast into a 1 cup measuring cup.
  3. Add 1 teaspoon of sugar to the same cup.
  4. Pour in 1/4 cup of very very warm water.
  5. Stir this mixture well and allow it to rise for 10 minutes or until foam reaches the cup's top.
  6. While the yeast rises, place 1-1/2 cups of whole wheat flour into a mixer bowl.
  7. Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the flour.
  8. Include 1/2 teaspoon of garlic salt if you wish.
  9. Pour 3 tablespoons of olive oil into the bowl.
  10. Mix these ingredients in the blender until small dough balls form, then pause until the yeast is ready.
  11. Once the yeast mixture is foamy, pour all of it into the mixer bowl and combine.
  12. While the mixer runs, fill the measuring cup with 3/4 cup of very very warm water and add it to the bowl.
  13. Let everything mix until the dough develops a smooth texture.
  14. Gradually add more flour, about 3/4 - 1 cup, until the dough pulls away from the bowl's sides in one mass.
  15. Remove the dough from the beater, place it on a floured surface, and form it into a ball, ensuring it is no longer sticky.
  16. If using a pizza paddle, coat it generously with corn meal. Shape your pizza base on the counter before transferring it to the paddle. Without a paddle, you can carefully shape the dough directly on the hot stone removed from the oven.
  17. Add your desired toppings to the shaped base and bake the pizza for 12 minutes.
  18. If you do not own a pizza stone, it is a highly recommended investment for this recipe.
