Pizza Crust

Dough

Dissolve the yeast in the hot water, let set about 5 minutes.

Add the yeast water, as well as the olive oil, salt, ground flax, and the whole wheat flour into your mixing bowl. If using a stand mixer use your dough hook.

Start mixing slowly to begin to combine your ingredients.

Once it starts to come together slowly add in the rest of your flour in a 1/2 cup at a time. mixing the flour in well each time. 

Once you add all your flour in mix on low-medium speed for about 5 minutes, the dough should be smooth not wet.

Grease a bowl and lid well (we use pork lard). Transfer your dough into the greased bowl and let sit in a warm place to rise for about an hour or until doubled. 

NOTE: It will rise faster the warmer it is.

Once your dough has doubled in size grease your pizza pans. You can make one thick crust pizza or 2 thin crusts depending on what you prefer.

Cover with a towel and let rise for another hour. 

Preheat your oven to 425°F

Ready to make your pizzas add your pizza sauce toppings and cheese and bake at 425°F for ~15 minutes.

Want to make your pizzas later bake at 425°F for 5-10 minutes (this stops the pizzas from continuing to rise) Once they are cooled you can wrap them in plastic wrap and foil and throw in the freezer till your ready.
