- Pulse about 30 short times in 25 seconds while slowly adding oil and water through the lid plug opening. Remove lid and use a spatula to scrape the dough off the sides.
- Secure the lid and continue pulsing another 30 times until a ball forms.
- After ball has formed, Pulse continuously for 10 to 15 seconds
- With floured hands, remove dough and form into a round ball. Place in a greased bowl, tuning over to grease all around. Let rise 10 minutes for a thin crust. Divide dough in two and stretch each ball into a 12-inch (30 cm) pizza crust and top as desired. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes.
Chef's Notes
You made need up to 3 more ounces of water to allow the dough to form a ball. To get the best results from this recipe, be sure to select the correct container size from the drop-down. Whole wheat doughs are generally denser than that of all purpose flour, try mixing a blend of flour for your first try to see if you like the texture and consistency.
