100 Whole Grain Pizza Dough Recipes

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients with a spoon for about 1 minute or use paddle on electric mixer for 1 minute.
• Rest for 5 minutes to hydrate dough. Cover while resting.
• Mix by hand or with dough hook on electric mixer for 5 to 6 minutes.
• Using a little oil on the counter and hands scrape onto counter and stretch by pulling on the bottom of the dough until a rectangle about 1/3 as thick as the dough is formed. Stretch and fold the dough as you would a letter. Do the same with the ends until a folded package is formed. Turn over and pull the dough to the bottom forming a smooth ball.
• Using a dough scraper or knife, cut and weigh our 5 equal pieces about 8 oz. each or 227 g.
• Form each piece into a ball.
• Spray with oil and place each piece into a plastic sandwich bag or freezer bag that has also been sprayed inside with oil.
• Rest overnight (or up to 4 days in the fridge) or freeze for up to several months.
• Thaw frozen dough in the fridge for a day before cooking.
• On baking day, set out desired number of bags, remove from the bags onto an oiled pan or work surface. Gently press into discs, spray with oil and cover with oiled plastic.
• Preheat oven with pizza stone to 500F or slightly more if possible.
• Prepare toppings.
• Using flour, shape the dough using gravity and your knuckels, rotate and strech until desired size is reached (10 to 12 inches). It should be thicker along the rim and thin, but not paper thin.
• Place on parchment paper and add sauce, cheese and toppings.
• Place on stone and bake until cheese is bubbly and crust is browned. This will take 7 to 8 minutes at 500°F.
• Tip: Use canned whole peeled plum tomatoes deseeded, salted, slightly mixed with immersion blender and strained of some water for the sauce. Pinch of sugar helps remove any bitterness and provides correct consistency. Don't cook sauce.

Steps:

• Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a small pot. Add the bulgur and quinoa and simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer the grains to a fine-mesh strainer and hold under cold water to stop the cooking. Let the grains drain in the strainer for 15 minutes, then spread them out on a thick layer of paper towels to absorb any extra moisture. Meanwhile, coarsely grind the flaxseeds in a spice grinder, just to break them open.
• Stir together the warm water, agave and yeast in a measuring cup or small bowl. Let sit until a small layer of foam develops at the top, 3 to 5 minutes. (If this doesn't happen, discard and try again with new yeast.)
• Whisk the flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a medium bowl; add the foamy yeast mixture and olive oil and mix together with a stiff rubber spatula. When the dough starts to come together, mix in the cooked grains, ground flaxseeds and sunflower seeds; form the dough into a uniform ball in the center of the bowl. Be sure to scrape and use any dough stuck to the sides. The dough will be very sticky at this stage. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and keep in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size, about 2 hours.
• Lightly dust a baking sheet with flour. Sprinkle a generous amount of flour on a clean, dry work surface. Scrape the dough onto the floured surface and knead for a couple of minutes, working in just enough flour to make the dough less sticky but still moist to the touch. Flour your hands periodically to prevent sticking. Form the dough into one single ball or divide it into smaller balls. Place the dough ball(s) on the prepared baking sheet. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a dish towel and let the dough rest for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, the dough can be shaped and cooked as desired.

Steps:

• dissolve honey and yeast in warm water, let sit for about 7 minutes.
• stir in salt, flours, and gluten.
• knead for 5 minute place dough in bowl sprayed with cooking spray. cover and let rise 45 minutes. punch down and divide in half. roll out and place on 2 12 inch pizza pan sprayed with cooking spray.
• preheat oven to 450 degrees and bake for 5 minutes. remove from oven and put on selected toppings. i use roasted veggies. bake for 15 minutes. mmmmm!

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.

Steps:

• First and foremost, if you have a pizza stone, put it in your oven and preheat your oven to 475 degrees fahrenheit.
• The homemade dough is the key - its pretty simple. All you need is to
• 1. put a yeast packet (1tsp) into a 1 cup measuring cup.
• 2. add 1 tsp of sugar and
• 3. 1/4 cup of very very warm water.
• Mix well and Let this rise for 10 minutes or until the foam reaches the top of the cup.
• While this is rising, put
• 1. 1-1/2 cups of flour into a mixer (like a kitchenaid) along with.
• 2. 1/2 tsp of salt and.
• 3. 1/2 tsp of garlic salt (optional) and then.
• 4. 3 tbsp of olive oil.
• Mix them in the blender until you see little tiny balls of dough, then wait for the yeast mixture to be done. When the yeast mixture reaches the top of the cup (from earlier) dump the entire contents into the mixer bowl and mix.
• While this is mixing, fill the measuring cup up with 3/4 cup of very very warm water and dump into the mixing bowl.
• Let everything mix until the dough has a smooth textured look to it.
• NOW, add flour until the dough pulls away in bulk from the edges of the bowl (this should be 3/4 - 1 cup of flour). Remove dough from the beater blade and form into a ball on a floured surface. Be sure that the dough is no longer sticky before you you form it.
• If you own a Pizza paddle (you can find them at kitchen stores for $10), then coat the paddle very thoroughly with corn meal. Form the shape of your pizza or calzone shell on the counter prior to placing it on the paddle. If you do not own a pizza paddle, you can take the stone out of the oven and form the dough on the stone, but be careful it is very hot. The idea of the pizza paddle is to have enough corn meal on it that whether you are forming a pizza, you put all the goodies on it or in it, open the oven and swiftly slide it onto the stone.
• cook the pizza for 12 minutes with all the toppings that you desire and viola- a delicious dinner for the family, and it is fun. From beginning to end, it takes me about 45-50 minutes. I DO NOT let the dough rise after it is formed- it is NOT necessary.
• If you do not own a pizza stone, BUY ONE- they are worth every penny!

Steps:

• Mix ingredients well (add salt and yeast at different times) and let rest 5 minutes.
• Knead by dough hook for 7 - 8 minutes.
• Stretch and fold and place in an oiled container to rest.
• After 10 minutes, stretch & fold again. Do the same two more times and place in fridge.
• After an overnight stay in the fridge (up to 3 days) divide the dough into 8 oz pieces (6) for pizza or 2.9 oz pieces (16) for buns or a combination of both.
• For pizza dough, place each ball into an oiled plastic sandwich bag and place into the fridge for use within 3 days or freeze for a month or so. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
• Roll each piece of dough for bun into balls and press or roll into round flats 3.5 " to 4" in diameter. Repress to maintain diameter and place on parchment covered to rise for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 F.
• When risen to 1.5 the original volume, place into the oven. Bake 8 minutes and rotate.
• Bake 4 to 6 more minutes until the rolls are 200 F internally.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the yeast, sugar, salt and whole wheat flour; set aside. In a small saucepan, heat water and oil to 120°-130°; stir into dry ingredients. Stir in enough white whole wheat flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky)., Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest for 10 minutes. Punch down dough; divide into 3 portions. Use immediately, refrigerate overnight or freeze for up to 1 month.

Steps:

• To make bread using this recipe, follow the instructions for pain à l'ancienne (page 52), adding the sugar at the beginning of the process. To make pizza dough, follow the instructions for neo-Neopolitan pizza dough (page 67), again adding the sugar at the beginning of the process.
• You can make a multigrain variation using 80 percent whole wheat flour and 20 percent (by weight) other whole grain flours in any combination. Just be sure the total weight still adds up to 24 ounces (680 g). Also, reduce the water by 1 ounce (28.5 g).

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.
