Multigrain pizza dough is a great alternative to a pizza made with all purpose flour or bread flour. It is flavorful, has more nutrients, and can be used to make a variety of different pizzas with your favorite sauces and toppings.
Ingredients
The multigrain pizza dough ingredients are very basic and easily available in the pantry. Bread flour, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, salt, yeast, and multigrain hot cereal is what you will need.
The main ingredient is multigrain cereal. It is usually found in the cereal section of grocery stores. You will have to look at the hot cereals and you will be able to find a variety of 5-grain, 7-grain, or 10-grain multigrain kinds of cereal.
I have used one pouch of Better Oats brand 5-grain multigrain cereal with flax which is made with oats, quinoa, barley, wheat, and rye.
Instructions
I like to make the multigrain pizza dough in the bread machine or in the KitchenAid stand mixer.
For making dough in the bread machine, put all the wet and dry ingredients in the bread machine pan in the order recommended by the bread machine manufacturer. Select and start the dough cycle. The dough is ready when the cycle completes. Check out how to make dough in bread machine.
Step 1: Make dough in bread machine or stand mixer and let it go through first rise.
Step 2: Divide dough into 3 equal parts.
If using a stand mixer, add all the ingredients in the bowl and knead with dough hook for about 12 minutes. Shape the dough into a ball and place it into a bowl. Let it rise into a warm place for about 45-60 minutes until it doubles in volume. Check out how to make dough in stand mixer.
Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface, make a smooth round ball, and divide it into 3 equal parts. Roll each dough into a pizza base of 10-inch diameter using a rolling pin.
Step 3: Roll each piece into a 10 inch pizza base.
Step 4: Apply sauce, toppings, and cheese and bake at 450°F for 10-12 minutes.
Place the base onto a baking tray optionally lined with parchment paper Apply olive oil on the base using a basting brush. Apply pizza sauce and toppings of your choice. Sprinkle grated mozzarella cheese and other cheeses like cheddar and pepper jack.
Bake in a preheated oven at 450°F for about 10-12 minutes or until the cheese melts and starts becoming golden brown. Take the pizza out of the oven and let it cool down for 2-3 minutes and then slice it using a pizza cutter.
