Introduction

A simple, nutritious recipe for home-made pizza dough... From SparkPerson 'JENNYNBOYS'! A simple, nutritious recipe for home-made pizza dough... From SparkPerson 'JENNYNBOYS'!
Number of Servings: 1

Ingredients

    For one cookie sheet size pizza use:
    1 cup water
    1 tbsp oil
    1 tbsp honey
    2.5 cups whole wheat flour
    1 tsp salt
    1 tsp yeast

Directions

1. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl.

Prepare this according to the yeast you're using (instant or active, but I used instant so I could just combine everything together).

2. Knead the dough on a floured surface for a few minutes. Add small amounts of flour as you knead if it's extremely sticky, but otherwise let it be.

3. Place the kneaded ball of dough back into your mixing bowl, which you should coat with oil so it doesn't stick.

4. Cover the bowl with a tea towel or some other covering, and allow the dough to rise in a warm (not hot and not cold - but inbetween!) environment for 60 - 90 minutes.

5. Roll the dough out onto an oiled cookie sheet (this recipe makes enough dough for ONE large cookie sheet sized pizza!), and let rise for an additional 10 minutes.

6. The dough is now your pizza base. You can add sauce and toppings as you desire!

    My family loved it, but wish you would include

    Sorry about not including baking times and temps. Jenny never mentioned that when she shared the recipe, & I just kind of do it by *feel*. If I have a lot of toppings, I'll cook it longer (15+ min) & at a reduced temp (350 F perhaps) - & if I have few toppings it's 12 min @ 400 F or so. HTH! :)

    I only used 1/2 tsp salt for this recipe and I also only used half the dough to make an extra thin crust. Preheated my oven to 500* for 45min then turned it down to 400* and cooked for 15min. Turned out very good! - 7/15/10

    We loved this! I also added some ground flax seed & italian seasoning to the dough. It worked well in my bread machine. - 3/5/11

    I think this pizza dough was AMAZING. The kids even loved it. Not too thin or thick. I found an amazing pizza recipe on here that uses this crust, but can no longer locate it. THANK YOU!! - 1/19/09

    I used "active yeast" and mixed it with warm water, salt, honey, and oil then let it "proof" for fifteen minutes. I added the flour and it was a delightful dough. I only cooked the pizza for ten minutes at 400F. I think it could have stood another five or ten minutes, but still good. - 7/14/15

    This is the ONLY whole wheat crust I will make now, and I've tried many recipes. For some reasons, the others always come out too bready and don't really taste like pizza crust; with this recipe, I get a perfect pizza crust (or stromboli!) every time. - 2/25/15

    We really enjoyed it. I rolled it out thin and made a number of single serving size pizzas with a variety of toppings to choose from. I baked them at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. We will use this often. Thanks. - 3/10/12

    I just made this dough tonight because I wanted a healthier option other than my favorite Pizza Hut. It was fantastic! I followed the recipe exactly and used instant yeast. I couldn't however pull it to make a whole cookie sheet worth of dough, but 80% is fine too. I will definitely make this again. - 6/3/11

    I didn't leave enough time for this to rise and my yeast was possibly dead, but i rolled it out over a large pizza stone, put my toppings on and baked at about 350F for 20 minutes. it had a thicker consistency due to not rising fully but still very yummy!great 100% whole wheat recipe! Thanks! - 3/28/11

    would have been nice to have a serving size I know it makes a whole cookie sheet, but how many slices. I make a flat bread one that doesn't have quite so many calories or sodium - 4/15/10

    I thought this recipe was pretty good but it would have been better if I would have rolled it out thinner. Though I like thick crust, this isn't the right recipe for it. And for what its worth, by boyfriend said he'd like it a bit sweeter so I may add more honey or some Splenda next time he's over. - 11/13/08

    The calorie count is off on the whole wheat flour. Gotta be a typo. 1/4 cup of whole wheat flour is around 100 calories. I just Googled it. - 10/20/18

    Best pizza dough recipe yet and ive tried a lot. i like to use very warm water(120*-130*F) so its soft enough to make a super thin crust pizza. - 9/18/13

    This is so easy to make and it tastes great! I can always get 16 slices from my cookie sheet. Thank you for posting this great recipe! - 4/30/12

    Why the 1,191 calories? Do you know how many normal slices I would get from this so I could divide up te calories. Seems high, but haven't looked to see what a traditional thin crust caloric intake is. I usualy use a low cal/low carb tortilla as my pizza base. Thanks! - 1/22/12

    Made with 2 tsp yeast. Pretty strong wheat taste. Patiently spread over two cookie sheets and let rise one hour - very thin crust. Prebaked 8 minutes at 400 degrees. Topped and baked 15 minutes more. - 3/27/11

    The dough was excellent and I found the instructions easy to follow. I haven't made my own dough in years. I made it with the whole-wheat veggie pizza that includes this as a pizza crust. Next time I'll bake it on a crisping stone because it was pretty floppy. - 6/29/09

    I'm not sure how you used calorie amount from this to calculate other recipe's nutrition;I guess you can just enter a calorie amount into spark's ingredient list? Instead, you could divide it into same amt of servings in this recipe as other rcpes,then pple can add the 2 amts together for each piece - 11/1/08

    Sounds real good, but you need to revise the Number of servings. So it will show the true about of Calories - 3/27/07

    Reply from CURVES_N_CURLS (6/13/08)
    The number of servings can vary depending on how you use the dough. I made it one serving so I could use it to calculate calories on my prepared pizzas with toppings (see my other recipes). Hope that makes sense... :)
