Whole Wheat Food Processor Pizza Dough (in a hurry!)

Published on September 4, 2014 By Emily. Updated on August 8, 2020

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

I’ve been in the blogging game for a long time.  And I’ve learned a lot since the winter of 2008…about writing, recipes and photography (never mind about marriage, teaching, home ownership and money management).  When I created my recipe index this summer, one thing was glaring obvious:  the photo for the post “(Almost) No Waiting Pizza” was pretty terrible.

It was also obvious, to me, that it had been a long time since I’d made that recipe.  The pizza dough recipe, which was one of the first to appear on my blog, was given to me by my mom and is one I remember her making fairly regularly.  If my recollections are incorrect, I’m sure she’ll mention it in the comments.  But in the intervening years, I’d spent a lot of time experimenting with other recipes for pizza dough.  Pizza making mastery is still not something I’ve reached — I’m too impatient to get the oven hot enough, I don’t bother with a peel and I’ve never made crust that’s taken more than a couple hours from start to finish.  But surely this dough, which is mixed in a food processor then immediately rolled out, placed on a pizza stone and baked, was not as good as the other recipes I’ve tried.

That may be true, but it’s really not that much better than the other doughs I’ve made either.  And it’s so simple and fast.  I typically freeze batches of my other dough to save time during the week, but this one I can make almost any night of the week without prior planning.  For this iteration of the recipe, I substituted some of the white flour with whole wheat and it made a lot of difference in the texture and hearty-ness of the dough.

Whole Wheat Food Processor Pizza Dough

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 15 mins
Cook Time 20 mins
Total Time 45 mins
Servings 1 pizza

Ingredients
  

  • 2 and 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast 1/4 ounce packet
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons warm water
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 teaspoons oil
  • cornmeal for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place a pizza stone in the oven.
  • Combine the yeast and sugar in the warm water in a bowl. Stir to dissolve and let stand for 10 minutes. (This 10 minutes is a good time to prepare toppings.)
  • When the 10 minutes have elapsed, insert the blade attachment into your food processor. Add the flour and salt to the bowl of the processor.
  • With the food processor running, pour the yeast mixture through the feed tube and process for about 45 seconds, until the dough begins to gather into small balls.
  • Add the oil through the feed tube and process for about 60 more seconds. If the dough isn't forming a ball, add a tablespoon or two or water and continue to process.
  • Remove the ball of dough from the food processor bowl. Hand shape the dough into a disc and roll it into a 14 inch crust using a rolling pin.
  • Remove the pizza stone from the oven and sprinkle it with the cornmeal, if you're using it. Move the crust to the stone.
  • Use a fork to poke holes in the pizza crust and bake for 6 minutes.
  • After 6 minutes, carefully remove the pizza stone. Spread the crust with your choice of toppings.
  • Return the pizza to the oven and bake at 425 for 10 minutes, or until the rim of the crust is golden brown.
  • Enjoy!

This time around, I topped the pizza with about 6 ounces of kielbasa, 8 ounces of mozzarella cheese, tomato sauce and half an onion.  I diced and browned the kielbasa and the onion on the stove top before serving.  I haven’t put kielbasa on a pizza in years, but it definitely hit the spot last night and I highly recommend it. But this dough is equally easy and fast to make, as well as delicious, with other toppings.

    YUM! I’ve never made pizza dough – I can usually get locally made dough at our grocery store – but I might have to try this!

UPDATE: the giveaway is now CLOSED. Congrats @aloh UPDATE: the giveaway is now CLOSED. Congrats @alohr3!

 @thelazygenius' second book, The Lazy Genius Kitchen, is finally here and I'm so excited! I don't purchase many books, but I pre-ordered this last July because I knew it would be right up my alley and then I pre-ordered a second copy because I knew that I'd want to give one away.

Author Kendra Adachi has been one of my favorite voices in recent years. Her principles (shared through her first book, The Lazy Genius Podcast and her Instagram) have helped me focus my priorities and give myself more grace. 

This book is NOT a cookbook (it has just 2 recipes), it is a kitchen guide - to help you "have what you need, use what you have, and enjoy it like never before". It is beautiful (full color!) and thoughtful.

I'm very excited to send this book to one of you.

TO ENTER: Leave a comment below with one of your greatest kitchen struggles. 
I'll draw a winner at 8 pm on Friday, May 6.

This morning we took advantage of @massmoca's Berk This morning we took advantage of @massmoca's Berkshire Teacher and Social Worker Appreciation Day free admission. After enjoying the student Art Invitational exhibit, the 4 of us took in several of the other galleries. Mass MoCA always impresses and it was delightful to be able to be out in the world with my kids.

Today I finally found my way into @plantconnector, Today I finally found my way into @plantconnector, in its new location on Main Street in North Adams. The shop is incredible - the displays are great and the plants are delightful. There's a refill station with bottles and jars for soaps, detergents and other products, a terrarium bar, and an abundance of sustainable and beautiful products. I'm now in the process of pondering who I can purchase Plant Connector gifts for in the coming months.

The current Voyage to the Deep exhibit, which involves an interactive Nautilus submarine that my 5 year old spent literally hours in.  We also thoroughly enjoyed the Aquarium and Berkshire Backyard. Highly recommended - we'll be back soon!

But, in the interest of full transparency, this pie was made with Pillsbury pie crusts and a $5 bag of Walmart Granny Smiths. I used the recipe on the pie crust box.
I am very excited to eat it.

I can't remember the last time I baked bread, some I can't remember the last time I baked bread, something that was part of my routine for a long time. Today school was cancelled due to the extremely cold temperatures outside and I took the opportunity to make 8 loaves - most of which will be put into the freezer until they're needed. Baking more bread was part of my 2022 theme of "resume" and I'm so happy to be back to it.
Recipe, as usual, from @breadin5
