    Whole Wheat Pizza Base Recipe | Whole Wheat Pizza Dough | Homemade Wheat Pizza Crust without oven recipe with step-by-step pictures and instructions. Learn how to make a pizza base with whole wheat flour. It is a healthy alternative to pizza made with refined flour. Whole wheat pizzas taste so good and once you try you won't go back. You can prepare thick or thin crust pizza.

    If you are making pizza often, this comes in handy when you make the base and store it in the freezer. You can simply bring to room temperature, apply the sauce, toppings, bake and enjoy the pizza quickly. You can prepare ahead for parties and get together too. Make some cheese burst pizza, paneer tikka pizza, or veg pizza using the base.

    You want to do some quick instant pizza without the base then you can check out this dosa pizza or chapati pizza recipe. I have shared the method of making in stovetop, oven, and air fryer. Store these pizza bases in a ziplock cover in the freezer. It stays good for up to 10 days. I have shared the recipe using yeast. I will be sharing the version of the pizza base without yeast soon.

    Whole Wheat Pizza Base Recipe | Whole Wheat Pizza Dough | Homemade Wheat Pizza Crust without oven

    Learn how to make a pizza base with whole wheat flour. It is a healthy alternative to pizza made with refined flour.
    Prep Time 1 hour hour 30 minutes minutes
    Cook Time 1 hour hour
    Total Time 2 hours hours 30 minutes minutes
    Servings 3 -4

    Ingredients

    • Whole wheat flour 1.5 cups
    • Yeast 2 tsp
    • Milk ¾ cup + 2 tbsp
    • Honey/Sugar 1 tbsp
    • Salt 1 tsp
    • Oil 2 tbsp

    Instructions

    • Warm milk and add honey to it and mix till honey is dissolved.
    • Add yeast to it and mix.
    • Cover and keep it aside for 10-15 minutes.
    • After 10 minutes yeast mixture will be frothy. This shows yeast is active. If it is not frothy don't proceed further
    • Take wheat flour and salt in a bowl.
    • Add frothy yeast mixture to it and knead to form a dough
    • Then add oil to the dough.
    • Knead it nicely for 10-12 minutes till the dough is soft and pliable
    • Cover and keep it aside for 1 hour or till it doubles in size.
    • Now punch the dough and knead for 1-2 mins.

    • I usually roll them medium. Prick it with a fork so they don't puff up while baking
    • Transfer the pizza base to the plate.
    • Heat the Kadai for 4-5 minutes in medium flame.
    • Then place the pizza base and cook in low flame for 10-15 minutes till the base is a little firm.
    • Cooldown and store in zip lock covers in the freezer.
    • Whole wheat pizza base is ready.
    • Apply pizza sauce, toppings of your choice, cheese, and bake them.

    Notes

    If you are baking in oven, preheat the oven to 200°C for 15 minutes and bake in the same temperature for 8-10 minutes.
    If you are using air fryer, preheat for 3 minutes and bake in the basket for 5 minutes at 200°C
    You can also directly cook the base in dosa pan flipping both sides. But cooking in kadai gives similar results as baking in oven.
    There can be few reasons for yeast to be inactive. Yeast is very old and reaching expiry date. Quality of yeast is not good. If you add yeast to very hot water it will kill the yeast. Proofing of yeast is very important for any bread recipes. if the yeast is not active don't proceed further.
    Kneading is the key to make the dough soft. So knead nicely for 10 minutes.
    Proofing time will vary on the climatic conditions. So always look if the dough has doubled in size rather than specific time.
    You can use water in the place of milk and sugar in place of honey to make this recipes as vegan.
    You can roll the pizza base as thick or thin. Cooking time will depend in the thickness of the base.

      It’s a good idea to make these ahead and freeze them for later use. Makes it easy to feed hungry kids when needed!

      That looks just like the one's we would buy from the bakery back in India when growing up. I have to give it a try. It has come out so well and love the idea of making it ahead of time to use whenever needed.
