No-knead whole wheat pizza


Kneed free Pizza final

About:

Homemade pizza has to be one of the most-requested meals at our house. It’s a crowd-pleaser, and making this treat at home is definitely more frugal than ordering from the local pizzeria.

I know the title says ‘no knead’ and it is…almost! You don’t need a fancy mixer to make this dough and you don’t need to pound it for an hour either. All you need to do is play with it for about 1 minute and prodding a lump of dough really doesn’t count as kneading in my book, therefore I stand by what I said – this dough is no-knead!

After my No-knead bread (link) I wanted to try pizza and this crust is crispy and really easy.
