Wholemeal Pizza Dough Food

HOMEMADE WHOLEMEAL PIZZA

Steps:

• Ferment the yeast by adding the yeast and sugar to 150ml warm water, then whisking till dissolved. Leave to stand for 10-15 minutes whilst it froths.
• Add the yeast water mix to the wholemeal flour and herbs, add the olive oil and mix well. Continue to mix and add water till you achieve a stretchy dough consistency, but not sticky. (If it goes sticky add more flour).
• Set the dough aside in a bowl covered in clingfilm or a damp towel for about 1 hour. Once the dough has grown to roughly twice its original size it is ready for kneading.
• Knead or roll the dough to the correct shape/size you require, place on to a lightly oiled baking tray / pizza tray (by oiling the tray the pizza wont stick).
• Preheat the oven to 375°F, 190°C or Gas mark 5.
• Mix the Tomato puree with the herbs, then spread the mixture over the base.
• Lay out the vegetable/meat toppings on the pizza. Then layer the mozzarella and the cheddar on top.
• Place in the oven for 20-30 minutes or until golden.
• Enjoy!

WHOLE WHEAT PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Proof yeast in a measuring cup with lukewarm water.
• In a food processor add whole wheat and all purpose flours, proofed yeast, oil mixed with honey and salt. Pulse processor to combine all ingredients. Then process until the dough forms a ball on the blade. Remove dough to a large oiled bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for 45 minutes or until dough has doubled in bulk.
• Punch down dough and transfer to a floured board and knead briefly. Divide dough into 4 equal portions and roll each piece into a ball. Place the balls of dough, covered, in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours or overnight. Bring the dough to room temperature before proceeding.
• On a floured board roll and stretch each piece of dough into a 7 to 8-inch circle. Place each circle on a wooden pizza peel or pizza pan and top as desired.
• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. and bake 7 to 8 minutes per pizza.

BREAD MACHINE PIZZA DOUGH WITH WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR

Steps:

• Add ingredients in the order given into the bread machine pan.
• Start dough cycle. (On my machine this takes 2 hours).
• Once the dough is done remove it from the pan onto a floured work surface.
• Roll dough to fit the shape of your pan. This recipe makes two 14 inch round pizzas.
• Brush lightly with olive oil and add toppings. You can hold this dough, with just the olive oil, for a couple of hours in the fridge covered in plastic wrap.
• Bake in a preheated 450 degree oven for 10-12 minutes.
• This recipe is the large sized recipe. It also comes in small and medium.

WHOLE WHEAT PIZZA CRUST

Steps:

• Mix water, oil, honey and yeast.
• Add wheat gluton, garlic powder (optional) and two cups of the flour.
• If you are using a mixer like a Bosch, Dimension or a KitchenAid you add additional flour until the sides of the mixer come clean.
• Knead about 7 minutes in your mixer.
• If mixing by hand add one cup at a time until the right consistence and knead until smooth and elastic.
• If you choose you can let the dough rise but I just divide the dough and half and roll out one on my pizza stone.
• After you roll the dough out pierce the rolled out pizza dough with a fork.
• Bake the pizza crust 450 degrees for about five minutes.
• Add your toppings such as sauce and cheese or whatever you want on pizza and then put back into the oven at 450 for about 10 minutes.
• Repeat for the second crust.

WHOLE WHEAT PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• In a large bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water. Sprinkle yeast over the top, and let stand for about 10 minutes, until foamy.
• Stir the olive oil and salt into the yeast mixture, then mix in the whole wheat flour and 1/2 cup of the all-purpose flour until dough starts to come together. Tip dough out onto a surface floured with the remaining all-purpose flour, and knead until all of the flour has been absorbed, and the ball of dough becomes smooth, about 10 minutes. Place dough in an oiled bowl, and turn to coat the surface. Cover loosely with a towel, and let stand in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
• When the dough is doubled, tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and divide into 2 pieces for 2 thin crusts, or leave whole to make one thick crust. Form into a tight ball. Let rise for about 45 minutes, until doubled.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Roll a ball of dough with a rolling pin until it will not stretch any further. Then, drape it over both of your fists, and gently pull the edges outward, while rotating the crust. When the circle has reached the desired size, place on a well oiled pizza pan. Top pizza with your favorite toppings.
• Bake for 16 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until the crust is crisp and golden at the edges, and cheese is melted on the top.

WHOLE-WHEAT PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• In a large bowl or in the bowl of a stand mixer, stir together water, yeast, sugar, and salt. Set aside for 5 minutes or until yeaste has bubbles and foamed, if it doesn't foam, start again with fresh yeast and check that the water isn't too hot,.
• If working by hand, stir both flours and oil into yeast mixture, until a soft dough forms. Lightly dust a clean work surace with all-purpose flour and turn dough onto it.
• Knead by holding dough with one hand, stretching it with the other, then pushing the heel of the holding hand into the mass. Knead for 10 minutes or until the dough is smooth and elastic.
• If dough gets sticky, add 1 Tbsp, all-purpose flour.
• If using a mixer, attach dough hook and bowl to mixer. Add both flours and oil to yeast mixture. Mix on medium until combined.
• Knead on low until smooth and elastic, about 8 minutes. If dough gets sticky, add 1 tablespoons all-purose flour.
• Using a paper towel, coat a large bowl with oil. Place dough in bowl, turning to coat all sides with oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and set aside in a warm draft-free place until doubled in size, about 1 1/2 hours.
• Wenm ready to bake pizza, divide and roll out dough as desired.

WHOLE WHEAT PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Combine the water, yeast, and a pinch of the sugar in a small bowl and let stand until foamy, about 10 minutes.
• Combine 2 cups of the flour, the remaining sugar and the salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the center and pour in egg, milk, butter, and yeast mixture. Mix until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining flour ½ cup at a time, stirring in each, until you have a soft dough that holds together nicely. (This can also be done in a stand mixer with the dough paddle attachment.)
• Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and knead for 2 to 4 minutes. Return the dough to a clean, oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and allow the dough to rise in a warm spot (I find on top of the refrigerator works well) until doubled in size - about 90 minutes. (Dough can be kept in the fridge over night after rising, to use the next day or can be used immediately.).
• If making one large cookie sheet sized pizza, roll dough out on a floured surface and place in a well oiled pan, allowing a bit of hang-over at the sides. I like to stuff the crust with cheese, which this overhang allows for. If not, you can either roll the sides in without stuffing or cut them off a bit to make them slightly smaller. If making two or more smaller pizzas, divide dough into balls and roll out to desired size.
• Preheat oven to 375°F Top pizza(s) with tomato sauce and all of your favourite toppings (I used eggplant, mushrooms, tomatoes, black olives, sundried tomatoes, vidalia onions, steamed spinach, goat's cheese, mozzerella and parmesan). Brush crust(s) with olive oil and bake for about 20 - 30 minutes or until cheese is bubbling and crust starts to turn brown. Slice and serve!
