Cooking Instructions
- 1
Gather your ingredients
- 2
In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine warm water and yeast. Mix gently to dissolve, then let stand for 5 minutes. The mixture should be a little bubbly at the end of this time. If it isn’t, your yeast isn’t active. Discard it and get new yeast.
- 3
Meanwhile, whisk together all the remaining dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
- 4
Add the dry ingredients to the yeast mixture. Add the olive oil and stir to combine.
- 5
Attach the dough hook onto the stand mixer. Knead the dough on low speed for 8 minutes. If the dough looks too wet, add all-purpose flour a teaspoon at a time
- 6
Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead by hand a minute or two. This is to ensure that the consistency of the dough feels right. If it feels too sticky, knead in a small amount of flour.
- 7
Place the ball of dough in a bowl coated with olive oil. Turn the dough to coat it with oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and allow it to rise at room temperature until doubled in size (approximately an hour and a half).
Alternatively, you can let the dough rise in the fridge overnight!
- 8
Determine whether the dough is adequately risen by poking a finger into it. The indentation should remain after removing your finger.
- 9
Weigh the dough to accurately divide it in half. The picture shows the weight of the dough (873 grams) before dividing it into two 437 gram portions.
Alternatively, just eyeball it and cut it in half. 🤷♀️
- 10
At this point, you can wrap the dough tightly in plastic wrap, then aluminum foil, and freeze it for up to three months. It can also be refrigerated for up to two days. Or, you can proceed to use it in your favorite pizza recipe!

Notes:
👉🏻 Instead of whole wheat flour, you could use an equal amount (3/4 cup) of all-purpose flour. I’ve done this in the past with great results. I would suggest NOT omitting the bread flour, since the higher gluten content gives this dough a good, chewy consistency once cooked.

Pizza Dough Pizza Dough
This is the result of massive amounts of research and time and taste testing. A pizza dough that can handle high heat (600°+) that a Kamado-Style grill can produce. This dough is relatively quick, tasty and looks good as well.Notes: prepare pizza and immediately place in grill for less puffy crust. Also, turn pizza with peel a quarter turn every few minutes to cook evenly.This crust will bubble and "leopard" on high heat. Kamado John Wayne -

Please see the post for more information on all-purpose vs. bread flour in pizza dough.²Many commenters have reported using active dry yeast (use the same amount, 2 ¼ teaspoon) with success. Some people have proofed the yeast first with the ¾ cup warm water, which is what I would recommend, while others have just mixed it into the dough as instructed. Both have had success!³Ideally your water should be between 105-115F (40-46C). I usually just use warm tap water but do make sure that your water isn't too hot or it will kill your yeast!

This pizza dough is not prepared or cooked in a traditional way, but it is the best homemade dough recipe that I've been able to come up with. It's also a nice cross between two competing pizza philosophies, namely Chicago-style deep dish and New York-style thin crust. It's versatile in the sense it is great for any topping choice, and although it won't be your favorite pizza crust of all time, it will hopefully be the favorite one you've ever made at home.
