This wholesome pizza dough recipe incorporates flaxseed for added nutrition and a delightful texture.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, instant yeast, sugar, and salt.
Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the yeast and salt.
Gradually add the warm water to the dry ingredients, stirring until combined.
Use warm water to activate the yeast effectively.
Add the ground flax seeds and all-purpose flour, mixing until a dough forms.
The dough should be slightly sticky but manageable.
Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic.
Kneading helps develop the gluten for a better texture.
Cover the dough and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Resting allows the dough to relax and makes it easier to roll out.
Roll out the dough and place it on a greased baking sheet.
Roll the dough evenly for consistent baking.
Add your desired toppings and bake for 15-20 minutes.
Check the pizza after 15 minutes to prevent overbaking.
Remove from the oven, slice, and serve warm.
Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing for cleaner cuts.
