Homemade Pizza Dough

This pizza dough recipe is my absolute favorite. I use it anytime I make pizza or calzones. Start by using 1/2 wheat, 1/2 white flour and work your way up to 100% whole wheat pizza dough.

 

Ingredients:

* 2 cups flour (use 1 c. wheat flour, 1 c. unbleached white flour) 

* 1 T. sugar

* 1 tsp. sea salt

* 1 pkg yeast (use Fleischmann's RAPIDRISE highly active yeast)

* 1 1/2 T. olive oil

* 1 cup heated milk (microwave 1 minute)

Directions:

* Mix all ingredients EXCEPT oil and milk. Heat milk for 1 minute in the microwave and add oil to the heated milk, stir together. Add milk and oil mixture to dry ingredients gradually while STIRRING until dough forms. (dough should be sticky, but not wet)

*Roll dough onto greased cookie sheet or pizza stone. Add toppings

*Cook at 350 degrees until lightly browned (About 25 min.)

*Always follow the instructions in your specific pizza or calzone recipe. If the recipe says to cook the pizza at 425 for 12 min., do so.
