Whole Wheat Pizza

3 cups whole wheat flour
2 tsp. sugar
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. yeast
1 1/3 cups cold water
1 Tbsp olive oil
Pizza sauce
Cheese
Toppings
  • In a large mixing bowl add the flour, sugar, salt, and yeast. Mix to combine.
  • Add the cold water and oil and mix until a soft dough forms. The dough will be sticky to the touch and a lot wetter than a traditional yeast bread dough. This is how it's supposed to be.
  • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours or up to 3 days. The dough will not rise much in the fridge and that's ok.
  • Pull the dough out the the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for one hour before using. While the dough is resting preheat your oven to 500 degrees.
  • If you have a baking stone, put it in the oven to heat, too.
  • When the oven is hot, cut your dough in half. Place half of the dough on a piece of parchment paper that is 18 inches long. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough (on top of the parchment paper) into a 12 to 14 inch circle.
  • Top with 1 cup of pizza sauce, 1/4 cup grate Parmesan, 1 to 1 1/2 cups of shredded mozzarella, and toppings of your choice.
  • Bake pizza on the parchment paper for 10 minutes.
Pizza Sauce
2 T. olive oil
2 cloves garlic
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • In a small sauce pan cook the oil and garlic together over medium heat until the garlic starts to smell good.
  • Add the tomatoes and simmer until it thickens a bit, about 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. DONE!
