    Recipe Introduction


    Posted by: chefly I made this in my KA, so I didn't need the full cup of water. I used about 3/4 cup. The dough was great to work with and I just pressed it onto the pizza pans. I did use all whole wheat flour and it was still tender and delicious

    List of Ingredients




    If you use all whole wheat, as this recipe suggests, you will have a hearty whole wheat flavor. You may substitute part white flour if you prefer a lighter whole wheat flavor.
    This recipe will make:
    2 thin crust pizzas, 12" each
    2 stuffed pizza pockets
    1 thick crust pizza, 14"
    1 Chicago-style deep dish pizza, 13" to 14"
    6 individual pizzas, 6" each
    25 individual calzones


    4 cups whole wheat flour
    1 tsp. salt
    1/4 cup (4 tbsp.) safflower oil
    2 pkgs. dry yeast
    2 tsp. honey
    1 1/2 cups warm water

    Recipe



    Dissolve the yeast in 1/2 cup warm (not hot) water and add 2 tsp. of honey. Set aside for at least 5 minutes. Meanwhile, sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Make a depression in the center of the flour and add 3 tbsp. of the oil, the other cup of warm water and the yeast mixture; mix the ingredients with your hands (or beat in a KA with a dough hook on "2" until well blended. Gather the dough together and place it on a floured board. Knead the dough, adding more flour if necessary. Knead for 8 to 10 minutes (or knead in the KA for 2 minutes on "2". The dough should be elastic and cohesive.
    Place the dough in a clean bowl that has been rubbed with oil. Brush the top of the dough with the remaining oil. Cover the bowl with a clean towel and put it in a warm, draft-free place for 1 1/2 hours.
