Whole Wheat Pizza Dough
Pizza, more specifically pizza dough and any bread with yeast, is a food that a lot of people are scared to make. Rightly so, yeast can be tricky to cook with. Don’t be intimidated. This is a very easy dough to make and I give you step-by-step instructions.
The one main tip to know is to accurately measure your water before adding the yeast. The second tip is to have patience and allow the yeast to work!

Whole Wheat Pizza Dough
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon Active dry yeast
- 1 and ½ cup warm water 120 - 130 degrees
- 3 and ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 Tablespoon canola oil
- 1 Tablespoon granulated sugar
For pizza pictured here I used the following toppings
- ¼ cup pizza sauce
- 2 cups mozzarella shredded
- pepperoni as much or little as you want
Instructions
- Sprinkle yeast over warm, (this is key. I always, always test with a thermometer) stir to combine and set aside 10 minutes.
- In a mixer with the dough hook attached, add flour, salt, and oil. Stir to combine. Drizzle in yeast water and mix until smooth. Add 1 to 2 T more flour if dough is too sticky. Coat the inside of another bowl with oil and add dough. Cover tightly and set in a warm, draft-free place like the oven or microwave. It will double in size. If you plan to use it later, refrigerate for up to 3 days. If refrigerated, I like to take it out of the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temp before using it.
- Allow it to proof until it doubles in size. After it has doubled you can use it or refrigerate it. It will last in the fridge for 3 days. To use it after refrigerated, take it out and allow it to come to room temperature then used it however you want.
- To make pizza. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Oil your pan. Knead it for 3 to 4 minutes then spread ¼ of the dough on a 12-inch pizza pan. The dough will be thin. (You can use ½ of the dough for a thick crust.) Top with desired toppings.
- Bake at 450°F for 12 to 15 minutes depending of the size and thickness. Remove to wire rack. Serve hot.
