Pumpkin - Herb Pizza Dough Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups flour
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp gluten flour
- 1 packet instant yeast
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tsp dried basil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 1/4 cups warm water
- 1/4 cup canned pumpkin puree
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl (this is easiest in a stand mixer), whisk together the flours, gluten, yeast, salt, herbs and garlic powder.
- Mix together the warm water and pumpkin, then add to the flour mixture and mix well.
- Knead with the dough hook or by hand for 7-10 minutes, until cohesive and fairly smooth (it will still be a little sticky).
- Place in a lightly greased bowl, turning to coat the top. Cover and let rest 30 minutes.
- Deflate the dough gently and divide / roll out as desired.
- For a thin, crisper crust, par-bake immediately at 425 for 5-7 minutes before topping and finishing your pizza. If you want a thicker crust, allow the rolled out dough to stand 15-30 minutes to slightly rise again.
