Homemade Pizza Dough
So much easier to make than you think, and it’s such a game-changer! Perfect for pizza night and it’s freezer-friendly!
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups warm water, 105-110 degrees F
- 1 envelope rapid rise yeast
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 ¼ cups white whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, plus more, as needed
Instructions
- Combine water, yeast, honey and salt in a small bowl; let stand until foamy, about 3-5 minutes.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with dough attachment, beat white whole wheat flour, olive oil and water mixture at medium speed until well combined.
- Gradually add all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup at a time, until a soft, smooth ball of dough is formed. The dough should feel elastic and slightly tacky to the touch. Increase speed to medium-high and beat for 5 minutes.
- Lightly oil a large bowl or coat with nonstick spray; place dough in bowl, turning to coat. Cover with a clean dishtowel and let stand at room temperature until dough has doubled in size, 30-45 minutes.
- Working on a lightly floured surface, divide into 2 equal pieces*; gently knead before using.
Notes
*TO FREEZE: Roll into a ball and place dough into separate freezer bags. Place in the freezer for up to 2 months, thawing overnight. Let dough stand at room temperature for 30 minutes prior to assembly.
