Individual Whole Wheat Pizzas are easy to create and serve. Make and freeze individual dough balls or prepared pizzas to enjoy anytime!
I love pizza. There a certain satisfaction to making your own dough. I like to use a mix of whole wheat flour and all purpose flour for added nutrition. You can use just all purpose flour if you like.
I sneak a little honey in the dough. So good!
If you never made your own pizza dough you are in for a treat. Here’s some tips I use.
Homemade pizza tips:
I use instant yeast to cut the rise time down.
Cut and knead dough into individual balls to easy freeze.
Place uncovered dough balls on a parchment lined sheet pan to freeze.
Shape dough on parchment paper for easy transfer and baking. Prick dough with a fork before adding sauce for even baking.
Freeze pizza sauce in a bag to easily remove portions as needed.
Pre-bake crusts then top with sauce and cheese and freeze for quick ready to heat pizzas.

- In a large bowl, mix together flours and yeast.
- In a separate bowl mix together warm water and honey. Gradually add flour mixture to bowl.
- Mix until all ingredients are incorporated and dough pulls away from the side of the bowl, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Place dough in a large oiled bowl, cover and place bowl in a warm location until dough doubles in size, about an hour.
- Divide dough into 4 equal pieces. Roll by hand into ball shape, gently pushing out most of the air until dough balls are smooth and elastic.
- Freeze or shape into pizza crust. To shape crust, flatten ball by shaping into circle about 8-inch in diameter. Crimp edges to help hold in sauce and filling. Prick center of crust with fork to bake evenly.
