Whole-Wheat Pizza Dough

To improve the nutritional profile of pizza, include whole-wheat flour in the crust. Using half whole-wheat and half all-purpose yields a light crust with a distinctive nutty taste. Quick-rising yeast shortens rising time to just 10 minutes, making wholesome homemade pizza a possibility for busy weeknights.

I've never had much luck with pizza crust until I tried this recipe. Now I'm somewhat obsessed with homemade pizzas. The dough comes together quickly and easily, and you can make a homemade pizza in the time it takes for the delivery guy to show up. No need to do any hand-kneading but I generally give it a few kneads because the dough is a pleasure to work with. I make both thin and thick-crust pizzas using this dough. The thin crust is more chewy than crisp but still very nice. With thicker crusts, I find it helps to bake the crust for a few minutes before putting on the toppings or else the cheese can burn before the crust is done.	6 weeks 3 days ago
This dough is awesome!! So easy to make and it's so fillling. Two pieces of pizza and we're full and very satisfied. I use honey instead of sugar and put it in with the oil and water.	8 weeks 3 days ago
