Soft Fresh Milled Pizza Dough: A Perfect Canvas for Flavor

There’s something incredibly satisfying about homemade pizza, especially when it’s made with love and a touch of wholesome goodness. This Soft Fresh Milled Pizza Dough recipe is not only a healthier alternative to traditional pizza dough but also incredibly easy to make. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious canvas for your favorite toppings.

Whole wheat fresh milled flour adds a nutty flavor and hearty texture to this dough, making it a great option for those looking to incorporate more whole grains into their diet. The addition of honey adds a subtle sweetness that complements the earthiness of the whole wheat flour perfectly. This dough is also incredibly versatile and can be used for traditional pizzas, calzones, or even as a base for flatbreads.

One of the best things about this recipe is that it can be prepared ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator overnight. This not only allows the flavors to develop but also makes dinner preparation a breeze.

I enjoy making pizza in cast iron pizza pans. You can find the pizza pans listed here.

To make Soft Fresh Milled Pizza Dough, you’ll need:

1 14inch Pizza Dough

275 g Hard White wheat BERRIES 1&1/2 cup
206 g Water 3/4cup + 2 Tablespoons Room temperature
4 g Olive oil 1 Teaspoon
14 g Honey 1 Tablespoon
6 g Salt 1 Teaspoon
4 g Instant yeast 1 Teaspoon

Instructions

Mill your wheat berries. While that is milling, mix water, oil, and honey in mixer bowl. Then add fresh milled flour to the mixer bowl.

Mix on speed 2 for 3-5 minutes or until all the flour is incorporated. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes add yeast and salt and knead for 8-10 minutes.

When it’s done kneading, put dough in lightly oiled container, cover and let rise until doubled in size.

Once the dough has doubled in size, deflate the dough. If making more than 1 pizza divide your dough. Then shape into ball and let rest covered for 30 minutes. This gives the dough time to relax which makes it easy to flatten.

After the dough is done resting, gently put it on an oiled pizza pan or parchment paper if using a pizza stone. Oil the top of the dough and flatten the dough into a 14in circle. Top with desired toppings. Let pizza rest for 15 min while the oven preheats to 450F. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until desired color is achieved. Enjoy!

How to freeze

This dough freezes very well! After the dough is done kneading, oil a freezer safe bag, shape your dough into a ball and place the dough into the bag. Freeze up to 3 months.

How to that soft fresh milled pizza dough

Remove the dough from the freeze the day before and place into the fridge. The next day, remove the dough from the fridge. Shape it into a ball. Allow to rest covered at room temperature for 2 hours. Now proceed with putting your dough onto your oiled pizza pan and continue with preparation instructions.
