    About Wheat Pizza Dough

    Traditionally pizza dough is made with simple ingredients like plain flour, yeast, salt, olive oil. How about making it little healthier by swapping wheat flour instead of regular plain flour. The resulting pizza is no different than our regular pizza.

    I used whole wheat flour, yeast, sugar, warm water and olive oil for making the dough and made veggie pizza using that. It turned out perfect.

        Tried this aarthi. Very tasty though it is made with wheat flour. But why my dough is not doubling in size? Even when I tried naan using maida also my dough did not raise. But taste wise it is good.What is the brand of yeast u r using? My yeast contains little big size balls not as yours. Does that make any difference?

        @MadhuIt is because your yeast is not activated. You have to activate the yeast in warm water with some sugar. If you add yeast to hot water then it will die and the dough wont rise.

          Aarthi, recently started trying your recipes. Thanks for the excellent recipes. In this wheat pizza base recipe, the measurement is for dry active yeast or instant yeast ? Could you tell me the measurement for dry active yeast for this recipe ? Also, where to buy good dry active yeast brand in Bangalore ? Thanks in advance

        Hi..tried the dough mix..it came out well but unfortunately it didn't rise much while cooking...
        so I ended up with a thin crust pizza...
        Any suggestions for improvement next time?

        Aarthi,if we were to double the amount of flour,can i double the amount of yeast too? Can I follow your yeast free recipe for WwF? Will it give us soft buns?
        Tried both your doughnuts and cinnamon buns. Everyone loved it ♡
