Pizza DoughIngredients (use vegan versions): 4 cups flour (I generally use whole wheat)
1 cup lukewarm water
1 teaspoon salt
1 package yeast
2 teaspoons sugar
3 tablespoons olive oil
Directions:Mix flour, sugar, and salt together. Dissolve yeast in water and add to flour mixture. Stir until dough has absorbed all water then add olive oil. Mix until dough is not sticky, adding water or flour as necessary (should not need much of either using the above amounts). Knead the dough for 8 to 10 minutes then place in a covered bowl in a warm draft free area for 30 minutes or until dough has doubled in size. Then knead for 2 or 3 more minutes and let rise 20 minutes more.
Now roll the dough out. The above recipe should make enough crust for one 16 deep dish pizza or two 16 regular pizzas. Either way, roll out two 16 crusts. For deep dish, put the first one in the pan, then add tomato sauce, veggies, and tons of soy cheese. Then place your second crust over this and pinch the two crusts together. Add a top layer of tomato sauce and another ton of soy cheese. Now cook in a hot oven ( 500 degrees or more) for 20-30 minutes.
i use a similar reciepe, but instead of sugar, i use sucanat or a similar product

I made the pizza crust; it was alot better than any other WW crusts I've tasted. My only problem was I tried to make one of the crusts thin enough to fit in a HUGE baking sheet. I wasn't able to stretch it all the way, and it was sort of more like a flat vegan bread. :-) But this is really.

it was really good because I like thick crusts a lot. My friend and I added some Italian spices to the dough to add more flavor to the pizza! Thank you

This is the best pizza crust recipe for whole wheat EVER! I added some Italian seasoning, and just used the whole recipe to make one large pizza-parlor size pie. It worked out perfectly; the dough is so easy to work with and not messy, and you can't even tell that its whole wheat! 5 stars!

I made this dough and it tasted great! I made two and one of them was on the bottom tray of the oven and burnt a bit. But even burnt, it tasted good. Also, I used a little bit more water than the recipe calls for.

like an idiot, I decided to try doubling the recipe and putting it in the breadmachine. don't do that. it won't fit.

Wow! This is the first whole wheat pizza crust I've ever made that actually turned out decent. I baked it at 425 for 20 minutes. 500 or more degrees for 20-30 minutes, as the recipe suggests, seems a bit much. Wouldnt it, at best, be as hard as a rock, or, at worst, be burnt to a crisp?
