Ingredients
8-grain cereal
2 teaspoons Honey or maple syrup
1 cup Boiling water
2¼ teaspoons Active dry yeast
1 cup White whole wheat flour
¾ cup Bread flour or all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Avocado oil or canola oil
Directions
Combine the 8-grain cereal and honey (or maple syrup) in a large mixing bowl or the bowl of an electric stand mixer.
Pour the boiling water over the cereal mixture and stir well to combine. Allow the mixture to cool to approximately 105°F (warm to the touch but not hot), about 15 minutes. This temperature is ideal for yeast activation.
Sprinkle the active dry yeast over the warm cereal mixture and let it sit undisturbed for about 5 minutes until foamy bubbles appear on the surface, indicating the yeast is activated and alive.
Add the white whole wheat flour, bread flour, and salt to the mixture.
If using an electric stand mixer, attach the dough hook and mix on medium speed until the dough becomes smooth and elastic, about 4 to 5 minutes. Alternatively, stir by hand with a sturdy spoon until the mixture comes together as a shaggy dough, then turn it out onto a lightly floured work surface and knead by hand for 8 to 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Lightly brush the teaspoon of avocado oil (or canola oil) around the interior of a clean bowl.
Place the dough in the oiled bowl and turn it to coat all sides evenly with the oil. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a damp kitchen towel and allow it to rise in a warm, draft-free location until it has doubled in size, approximately 40 minutes to 1 hour. You can check by pressing your finger gently into the dough; if the indentation springs back slowly, it's ready. When ready, scrape the dough from the bowl using a dough scraper or your fingers and proceed with shaping for pizza.
Comments
The ingredient list is nearly bulletproof for Charlotte groceries—all eight items are stocked at Harris Teeter, Food Lion, Walmart, and ALDI without exception, and avocado oil is now common enough that you won't need to hunt. The stated 80 minutes glosses over the fact that most of that time is rise time; active work is closer to 15 minutes, which is honest enough if you read carefully. At roughly $0.75 to $1.00 per serving, the cost is reasonable for homemade pizza dough, driven mainly by the bread and whole wheat flour. The one caveat is the multi-grain cereal: the recipe lives or dies on which cereal you choose, and some (like granola or sugared brands) will throw off both texture and flavor, so you need to know what you're doing with that ingredient, which makes this better suited to someone confident in the kitchen than a weeknight beginner.
