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!

After months of good intentions, I finally got aro After months of good intentions, I finally got around to making Change Your Life Chicken from @thelazygenius. It totally lived up the the hype: super crispy chicken skin, flavorful vegetables that didn't burn, and a recipe that was easy and largely hands off. I'll be adding this one to the regular rotation.

In addition to playing in the yard and going for walks, we enjoyed dinner from @aokberkshirebbq. Pictured is their excellent sausage sandwich (left), brisket sandwich (right) and potato salad. So delicious.

When @wholefully announced their new #MakeItWholef When @wholefully announced their new #MakeItWholefully Cooking Club, I immediately got excited about participating. My excitement increased when I saw that the recipe for this quarter is Easy Chicken Quesadillas. These quesadillas are so much better than what I usually make. I'm not sure if the taco seasoning (I don't usually add cumin to mine), the fresh bell peppers or the burrito-sized tortillas, but this recipe makes a quesadilla that  reminds me of eating at restaurants. (Remember eating at restaurants?) Everyone in my household loved this recipe and I will definitely be making it again.

In January I decided that one of my "deliberate" s In January I decided that one of my "deliberate" sub-goals for 2021 would be to figure out the best pizza dough recipe and topping combinations for my family. We've had pizza night on the menu for a long time, but I knew that I could improve the pizzas that were coming out of my oven. Each week (or so) I've been sharing in my Stories the pizzas I've made with various stores and toppings. I am eight weeks in I've already learned a lot about technique and what I prefer in a pizza crust and toppings. I'm also looking forward to seeing what the rest of the year will hold in my pizza making studies. Check out my highlights for all the pizzas so far!

Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting to my Instagram feed was one of the things that didn't make the cut. There are more items than I'd prefer in that category, but recently I've felt like I'm beginning to get my feet firmly planted beneath me again. This fall was so busy with learning how to teach remotely and parent 2 children well. I don't anticipate that life will ever feel not busy, but I've been able to carve out some time lately for activities I've been missing. Making bread is one of those activities. Hopefully, more posts in the feed will be more frequent going forward.
