Easy Peasy Pizza Dough
Whole grain pizza dough is so easy and fun to make, even your family will want to help! This fiber-filled pizza dough is perfect with any toppings, and makes a great weeknight or weekend family meal.
Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1½ -2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 packet active dry yeast
- 1½ tsp salt
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1½ cup lukewarm water about 105°F
- 2 tbsp corn meal
Instructions
- Combine flours, salt, Italian seasoning, and yeast in a large bowl.
- Add lukewarm water to dry ingredients. Mix vigorously with a wooden spoon for about 30 seconds, until combined.
- Using hands, add in additional flour (about ½-1 cups) and lightly knead until dough is not sticky. If dough is too dry, add in 1 tbsp of water until slightly moist.
- Once dough is not sticky anymore and mixed thoroughly, divide dough into 2 balls. Place each in a separate bowl, cover with a towel, and let rest for about 10 minutes.
- While dough is resting, sprinkle 1 tbsp corn meal on the bottom of each pizza pan (this will prevent pizza dough from sticking to pan and provide a fun texture).
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- After dough is done resting, sprinkle 1 tbsp flour onto a working surface. Roll out each pizza dough to desired thickness. Place on pizza pans.
- Without toppings, heat pizza dough in oven for 8 minutes, until crust is slightly brown.
- Remove from oven and add toppings of choice. Place back in oven for about 12-15 minutes or until pizza crust is browned.
