A delightful whole wheat pizza dough recipe with improved flavor and texture, perfect for your next homemade pizza night.
Add the warm water to the bread machine pan.
Ensure the water is warm, not hot, to activate the yeast properly.
Pour in the olive oil and honey.
You can measure the olive oil first, then use the same spoon for honey to prevent sticking.
Add the salt, whole wheat flour, and all-purpose flour.
Layer the ingredients so the yeast doesn't touch the liquid immediately.
Sprinkle the instant yeast on top.
Make a small well in the flour to hold the yeast.
Set the bread machine to the dough cycle and start.
Check the dough after a few minutes of mixing; it should form a smooth ball. Adjust with water or flour if needed.
Once the cycle is complete, remove the dough and shape it as desired.
Let the dough rest for a few minutes before shaping to make it easier to handle.
Bake the shaped dough in a preheated oven at 400°F for 18-20 minutes.
For a golden crust, brush the edges with olive oil before baking.
Serve your freshly baked pizza with your favorite toppings and enjoy.
Slice the pizza with a sharp cutter for clean edges and a neat presentation.
