Whole Foods Pizza Recipe

Whole Foods Market's mission is to offer folks nutritious and organic foods, and grocery's pizza dough fits well with that goal. Whole Foods' pizza dough contains just a handful of ingredients, including organic flour and ancient grains like spelt.

Whole Foods pizza crust bakes up in less than 15 minutes. If you aren't using it right away, freeze it for up to three months.

Remove the frozen dough from the freezer and set it in the refrigerator overnight to thaw. You can also set it on the counter 1 1/2 to 2 hours before you plan to bake the pizza.

If you thawed the frozen pizza dough in the refrigerator overnight, set the thawed dough on the counter 30 minutes before baking time.

Heat the oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. A hot oven is essential for making a crisp crust when using a Whole Foods pizza crust. If you're using a metal pan, grease the pizza pan by spraying it with a nonstick cooking spray.

Pizza stones help create a crispy, browned crust. Perforated pizza pans have tiny holes to allow heat to penetrate the bottom of the crust so that it cooks evenly.

Sprinkle the countertop with flour or cornmeal. Lightly press the thawed dough out on the countertop to flatten it. Pick it up and carefully stretch the dough between your fingers, turning it as you work.

Place the dough on the pizza pan or stone. Spread marinara sauce, ranch dressing or a drizzle of olive oil over the pizza, depending on your preferences. You can top the pizza with cheese, meat, herbs and garlic. Give it a dash of kosher salt and pepper if desired.

For a healthier pizza, add lower-fat meats, such as ground chicken or turkey breast instead of sausage or ground beef. Poultry breast is lower in saturated fats, which are linked to higher LDL (bad) cholesterol levels, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Bake the pizza on the lowest oven rack in the oven for 8 to 12 minutes, or until the crust is brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

Cool the pizza on a hot pad or cooling rack for 10 minutes before slicing it. Cooling allows the cheese to set and makes the crust easier to cut.

Now that you know how to use Whole Foods pizza dough, you can get creative with any toppings you have in your fridge or pantry, or try a specific recipe.Sure, it wasn't from scratch, but until I get the hang of making my own pizza dough or learn how to make my own mozzarella cheese and tomato sauce (it looks really easy), this is pretty dang close.

The next time you go to the grocery store, flip over the box of your favorite frozen brand and read the loooong ingredients list.

You bring the dough home, let it warm and rise again, form the pizza, bake the crust, add the toppings, season it, then cook.

The little extra work is totally worth it. It yields a fresh, flavorful pizza with a chewy crust that's not greasy.Just make sure to season it properly and use quality toppings.

1 lb of Whole Foods pizza dough (find it in the refrigerated section next to the hot foods or ask at the pizza counter)

About 60-90 minutes ahead of time, take the dough out of the fridge. Microwave a mug of water for two minutes. While that's heating, oil a large bowl with 1/2 a tablespoon the olive oil. Open the bag, pull out the dough and plop it into the bowl. Pour another 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil in your hands, pick up the dough and rub it all over the surface. If there are any air pockets, push the dough until they pop. Once it's thoroughly oiled, place it back in the bowl and cover with a dish towel.

Remove the mug from the microwave and immediately stick the towel-covered bowl into the microwave and close the door. Set a timer for at least 60 minutes (I prefer 90) and leave the dough be. Don't open the microwave until the timer goes off. This warm, moist environment will help the dough heat back up to room temperature and rise. Alternately, if your kitchen is warm enough, you can leave the dough out on the counter or near the stove (still covered) until it doubles. This usually takes too long for me, so I like the microwave method. It's more reliable.

If you don't have any Magic Sauce on hand, now would be a good time to make it. The longer it sets, the more flavorful it becomes. About 30 minutes before you want to cook the pizza, preheat the oven to 350 degrees and stick a pizza stone inside to warm up. You don't want to stick a cold pizza stone directly into a very hot oven, so make sure you do this. If you don't own a pizza stone, you can skip this step. When the dough has risen enough, increase the oven's temperature to 475 degrees. Pull out all the seasonings and shred the cheeses. Remove the dough from the microwave. Cut off a piece of foil, set it on the countertop and rub it with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil. Take the dough out of the bowl, plop it on the oiled foil and work it into a circular shape that's evenly thin in the middle and thicker around the edges. (This is tougher than it sounds--mine always end up looking like an oval.)

Using oven mitts or a towel, carefully remove the pizza stone from the oven and transfer the foil and pizza to the stone. Place back in the oven and bake for 4-5 minutes. Doing this ensures that the center part of the pizza crust cooks through and doesn't get soggy. Remove from the oven (you can leave the foil or remove it now) and pour the magic sauce all over the pizza, making sure to put plenty on the crust. Then, spread the tomato sauce across the middle. Top with mozzarella cheese. Season the cheese with garlic, sea salt, Italian seasoning blend and crushed red pepper, to taste and add on the pepperonis. Season the top with more seasonings if desired and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese across the pepperonis. Bake for 10-12 minutes more, until the crust is golden and the cheese has melted properly.
