Homemade Overnight-Rising 100% Wholewheat Pizza Dough

 

Makes 3 pizzas

Ingredients:

1. 5g fresh yeast
2. 165g water or best distilled water (Cooled boiled water)
3. 250g white wholewheat flour

4. 5g sea salt (2% of flour weight) 
5. Extra virgin olive oil to brush the dough

Directions:

1. In a mixing bowl, add yeast and water, mix until the yeast is dissolved.

2. Add white wholewheat flour and salt and mix well.

3. Add the flour mixture bit by bit and knead the dough until it is soft and separate easily from the bowl. You can use an electric mixer to mix and knead the dough for about 5 minutes.

4. Cover and let it rest for 1 hour until double its size.

5. Portion the dough into three and shape them into a ball each.

6. Coat them with cooking oil, cover with plastic and let them rest for 45 minutes until it double its size.

7. You can use your pizza dough now by dusting each with a bit of durum flour, rolling each out and top it with your favorite pizza toppings :-)

8. You can also let it rest overnight in the fridge and slowly ferment. It will be even more flavorful :-) I prefer to let it sit overnight in the fridge before using it :-)

Storage:

You can store them in the fridge for 2-3 days. After 1-2 days, it will be even more flavorful. 

Storage:

You can store the pizza dough in the freezer for 30 days. Wrap each dough ball individually with plastic wrap and place it in a freezer bag or container with lid. When you are about to use your pizza dough, thaw it overnight for 24 hours in the fridge, then 2 - 3 hours before you are ready to bake, take it out of the fridge for it to reach room temperature.

White wholewheat flour which you can get from Føtex Supermarket (In Danish, it is called hvid hvede fuldkornsmel).

Organic extra virgin olive oil from Netto

In a mixer, add 5g fresh yeast

Add 165g of distilled water (cooled boiled water)

Mix well.

In a bowl, add 250g of white wholewheat flour

Add 5g of sea salt

Mix well

Add the flour mixture into the mixer or knead it by hand.

Mix until it combined and doesn't stick to the bowl about 5 minutes.

Form it into a ball.

Cover and let it rest for an hour until double its size.

After resting for an hour, it has expanded roughly double in size.

Divide the dough into 3 and coat each with a bit of olive oil to prevent it from sticking together to the container. Cover and let it rest in the fridge overnight. (If you can't wait, you can also let it rest for 45 minutes. After 45 mins, it would have expanded in size and ready to be used :-))

This is how it looks like after resting in the fridge overnight and ready to be used :-) It will be even more flavorful after 1-2 days. you can keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days.
