Whole Wheat Pizza Crust with Herbs

I'm always on the hunt for a good whole wheat pizza dough recipe. I'm pretty satisfied with this one. I doubled the recipe and made (2) 16 inch thin crust pizzas

You will need:

2 C white whole wheat flour (see note)

1 package active dry yeast or instant yeast

3/4 t salt

1 C hot water

1 T vegetable oil

1 T agave or sugar

1 t each dried bail, rosemary and oregano

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Mix whole wheat flour, yeast and salt together with spoon. Now add in water, oil and agave or sugar. Stir briefly then put your hands in the dough and get it all mixed up. You aren't really kneading just incorporating all ingredients. Add in your dried herbs.

Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in sized. Mine took about 30 minutes.

Grease your pan and stretch out your dough to desired size. 

Once you have dressed your pizza, bake in oven 15 to 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown and toppings are done. 

NOTE: white whole wheat flour is milled from hard spring wheat rather than traditional red wheat. It is white without having to be bleached. The bag I have says it has 4.5 times the fiber of all purpose flour. 

I topped this pizza with tomatoes, oilves, fresh basil and Daiya Mozzarella. It was delicious. Enjoy!
