The Best Whole Wheat Pizza (Herb&Garlic)

sadhya
A whole wheat dough that is still soft and crispy. After I discovered this recipe we make pizza pretty often, especially since it can easily be frozen. We even show you how we make our pizza at home. It's perfect for a movie night with the family.

Equipment

  • standard mixer

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup all purpose flour Can make 100% whole wheat but will be thinner crust
  • 1 Tbsp salt
  • 2 Tbsp unrefined sugar or honey
  • 4 1/2 tsp active dry yeast 2 packets
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp choice herbs. eg. thyme basil, oregano
  • 1/2 tsp rosemary
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water about 105ºF
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Instructions
 

  • Sprinkle yeast on the warm water and proof for 10 min. Then add honey and mix together.
  • Mix together dry ingredients and oil. Attach the dough hook on slow speed and slowly add the water until completely incorporated. Within 1-2min the dough should come together and pull away from the sides.
  • Note: You can make this 100% Whole wheat but the crust will be thinner.
  • Grease bowl and cover dough loosely with saran wrap and a tea towel for 1-2 hrs until doubled in size.
  • 4.Punch down dough and roll onto a floured surface. Divide into two.
  • To FREEZE: Wrap in saran wrap and put into freezer bag. Can keep in the freezer for 2-3 months. To use just thaw in fridge night before and let the dough rise at room temperature for 30 min-1hr before.
  • To use NOW: Cover the dough for another 30min-1hr. If you need more time put it in the fridge for up to 24hrs in a sealed container. The dough is easier to work with at room temperature.
  • Preheat oven at 415F
  • On an oiled pizza stone or sheet begin to press, stretch and flip the dough until you get the desired shape and size. preferably dough should be 1/8-1/4 inch thick.
  • Now add you toppings. I usually start with some ginger garlic paste (try our recipe https://youtu.be/LekaKOyYsxE ), tomato sauce, siracha and some cheese before I add everything else.
  • Put in the oven for 15-20 min or until golden brown.
