This whole wheat pizza dough recipe is a family favorite! It takes hardly any time to prepare and tastes so much better than frozen or store made pizza dough.

Have you ever made pizza dough at home? It is way easier than I ever thought. I started making pizza dough at home a couple years ago after our first kiddo was born.

I love making a fresh pizza any night of the week. Using whole wheat flour in the dough gives added nutrition to the dish.

Ingredients for Pizza Dough

You really don’t need much to make pizza dough. I use white flour, wheat flour, olive oil, water, yeast, sugar and salt for the best dough ever!

How to Make Whole Wheat Dough

First, add all dry ingredients to a mixer and start the mixer. I slowly add the olive oil and the water.

The Dough Consistency

The dough should look like the above consistency. Not too wet and not too dry. If it is too dry add a little more water or oil. If it is too wet, add a little more flour. The recipe below should work out fine but if your measurements are off a little just check the dough consistency.

Let the Dough Rise

Once the dough is ready, add flour to a surface and knead the dough three times. Then cover with plastic wrap and let it rise for one hour. This recipe makes enough for two pizzas, so after the dough rises you can cut it in half.

I typically freeze one half and use the other. One half of the dough feeds our family of three with lunch leftovers. If I have friends over I will make both pizzas.

Knead the Pizza Dough

Once the dough has risen for at least an hour kneed it two more times and roll it out with a rolling pin. Before I had a rolling pin I used my hands or a large water bottle. (whatever you need to do!)

Make the Pizza

Next, add your sauce and toppings. I often use jarred pasta sauce but you could make your own or use pizza sauce. Here are some of our favorite Pizza Recipes:

• Pepperoni and Bacon Pizza
• Easy Cheeseburger Pizza
• Spinach and Tomato Flatbread

The fun part comes with the toppings. My kiddo loves pizza night because she loves to sprinkle on the cheese and “push” on the pepperoni. Then just bake at 400 for about 13-15 minutes.

And there you have it! Fresh made pizza right out of your own oven. Enjoy! xo, Bri
