Whole Wheat Pizza Dough with Freshly Milled Flour
Easy Whole Wheat Pizza Dough with freshly milled flour! This Whole Wheat pizza crust is so quick to make using hard white grain that you mill at home to make whole wheat flour! It yields a soft chewy crust and freezes great when you need frozen pizza in the oven for a fast dinner!
Equipment
- 1 Stand Mixer, (with hook attachment or bread machine)
Ingredients
Pizza Dough:
- 1 cup warm water
- 1 Tbsp dry active yeast
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 325 grams hard white wheat , (about 2 1/2 cups of freshly milled flour)
Sausage and Pepperoni Pizza:
- 8 oz mild cheddar cheese , (shredded)
- 2 cups browned sausage , (pork or breakfast sausage)
- 4 oz pepperoni
Quick Pizza Sauce:
- 6 oz tomato paste
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp chili powder
- 1/4 tsp oregano
- 1/16 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup water
Instructions
Directions:
- Weigh the grain and mill into flour.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer whisk together the warm water, yeast, honey, olive oil, and salt. Allow the yeast to bloom for 5 minutes.
- Add the flour and knead over low speed for 25 minutes. I kneaded it on Speed 2 in my Kitchen-Aid mixer. The dough will be sticky. Rest for 1 hour covered in a greased bowl.
- Meanwhile, combine the pizza sauce ingredients. I had to reheat my frozen tomato paste so I warmed it in a saucepan but you can mix everything together in a bowl.
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Transfer the dough to a cornmeal-dusted surface and roll the dough out to a 16-inch circle. Transfer to a lightly greased pizza pan
- Top the crust with all the pizza sauce, cheese, pepperoni, and sausage. Bake for 10 minutes on the bottom rack of the oven. Slice and serve.
Notes
Notes:
- This pizza dough recipe makes one extra large crust.
- Freshly milled flour weighs the same as the grain in whole form. So if you need 325 grams of flour simply weigh out the grains and that is how much flour you will need after it's milled.
- My quick pizza sauce recipe makes 2/3 cup of tomato sauce. This is enough for a large 16-inch pizza or two smaller pizza crusts.
