I love making pizza. This year I created this whole wheat pizza dough. It's the only version I make now. The family loves it. This recipe also gives the directions for making pizza dough with a stand mixer (I use a KitchenAid)
Ingredients
3 c whole wheat flour
3 c all purpose flour
2 packs of yeast
2 1/2 c lukewarm water
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1-2 tsp olive oil
Directions
Place lukewarm water in a large mixing bowl. Add yeast and sugar. Using a whisk, mix until yeast is dissolved. Allow to rest 5 minutes. Add salt and olive oil. Whisk together. Add the wheat flour. Attach dough hook to mixer and start mixing (start with the mix speed until flour settles then go to speed 2). Add 2 cups of the all purpose flour. Mix on speed 2. Add last cup of flour and mix on speed 2. At this point the dough ball should start pulling away from the bowl. If it is not then add a little more flour. You do not want to add too much as your dough will get dry. Once it's too dry there is nothing you can do but start over. Now lightly flour your counter and remove dough from mixing bowl. Work the flour into the dough by lightly kneading. Do not over work the dough. The dough should now be perfect and no longer sticky. Take another bowl and drizzle olive oil on the bottom of bowl. Take the ball of dough and coat on all sides with the oil. Cover bowl with dish towels. Allow dough to rise 25-30 minutes. I set my dough on the stove so that the heat from the warming oven helps speed up the process. Now you are ready to cut out portions of dough for pizza, roni rollers, etc.
Note: You must use a mixture of wheat and all purpose flour. Do not use all wheat flour or your dough will be more like a dry cracker.

Spinach Rollers
Garlic powder
Red pepper flakes
Grated Parmesan cheese
2 c shredded mozzarella cheese
1 can/jar favorite pizza sauce
1 can/jar favorite pizza sauce
Directions
Note: You can also make roni rollers (click for recipe & instructions). I like to do make half & half :)
Drizzle chopped spinach with olive oil. Add garlic powder, red pepper flakes, & Parmesan cheese to taste. I actually taste the mixture to make sure it is seasoned perfectly. Set aside & allow it to marinate. Stir occasionally. Make your pizza dough according to the directions listed on my blog. Once the dough is ready. Using a sharp knife pull dough & cut a 7 ounce ball of dough. If you don't have a scale just eyeball it. Place the dough ball on a olive oiled surface. Pat dough until you form a circle (about 10 inches). Spoon spinach mixture onto dough. Sprinkle with Parmesan & top with mozzarella cheese.
Start rolling dough from one side. About halfway through fold both sides into the center as shown here. Then complete roll until you form a complete roller.
Place spinach roller (seam side down) on a greased baking sheet (for best results grease heavily with shortening).
Once you roll all the dough you will have a nice full sheet of spinach rollers (careful they are heavy). Place in a 425 degree oven.
After 10-12 minutes and rollers start to slightly brown, take a paper towel & scoop shortening onto towel & rub rollers with shortening. This will give the rollers a nice crispy, brown crust.
Bake an additional 10-12 minutes or until they look nice & brown.
Serve spinach rollers with pizza sauce - YUMMY, YUMMY!!!

Pizza Dough
My brother, Shane, is the world's best pizza maker. He spent several years in high school working at a pizza place called Pizza Joe's. He was what we called the dough boy. He made all the dough for the pizza place every day. Now he does it for fun. The number one menu request when we go to Gulf Shores is pizza or roni rollers. After years of watching Shane make pizza dough, I finally attempted it myself several months ago. It's wasn't as hard as I thought it would be. So here it is - try it out!
Ingredients
6-7 c. all purpose flour
2 packs of yeast
2 1/2 c. lukewarm water
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
Directions
Place lukewarm water in a large mixing bowl. Add sugar, salt, and yeast. Mix well until yeast is completely dissolved. Add 2 cups of flour at a time until 6 cups have been added. Then with the last 1 cup, add a little bit at a time until the dough is not wet. You will not need the entire cup & be careful not to get the dough too dry. At this point the dough ball should start pulling away from the bowl. If it is not then add a little more flour. You do not want to add too much as your dough will get dry. Once it's too dry there is nothing you can do but start over. Now lightly flour your counter and remove dough from mixing bowl. Work the flour into the dough by lightly kneading. Do not over work the dough. The dough should now be perfect and no longer sticky. Take another bowl and drizzle olive oil on the bottom of bowl.
