My Go To Whole Wheat Pizza Dough

Recipe from Everyday Food Martha Stewart

Makes 2- 1 pound Balls

With one batch of dough, you have enough to make 2 large pizza shells or eight individual ones.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cup warm water(115 degrees)

4 1/2 tsp. active dry yeast

1/4 cup olive oil, plus more for bowl

2 T. sugar

2 tsp. coarse salt

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for kneading

2 cups whole wheat flour

1. Place water in large bowl; sprinkle with yeast. Let stand until foamy, about 5 min. Brush another large bowl with oil.
2. In bowl with yeast, whisk sugar, oil, and salt. Stir in flours with a wooden spoon until sticky dough forms. Transfer to oiled bowl; brush top of dough with oil. Cover bowl with plastic wrap; let stand in warm spot until dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour.
3. Turn dough out onto a well floured surface. With floured hands, knead until smooth, about 15 seconds; divide into 2 balls.

To Freeze 1 pound balls

Set balls on a plate and freeze until firm, about 1 hour. Then freeze in a freezer bag up to 3 months. Thaw over night in refrigerator.

To Freeze Individual Shells

Divide each ball of dough into 4 pieces. Using your hands, stretch each piece into 5 inch disk. Freeze shells on two parchment lines baking sheets. Stack frozen shells between layers of parchment paper. Freeze in freezer up to 3 months. Bake from frozen.

THE VERDICT: Great moist crust, and healthy at the same time. My husband the non crust eater actually prefers this crust over any from takeout. Thats a score for me!!!! Plus so easy to make a few batches and have them on hand for Friday Pizza Night! Enjoy!
