Today, over at 5 Minutes for Mom, I am sharing my newest obsession: Spinach Artichoke Dip Pizza.
Yes, you read that correctly: Spinach … Artichoke … Dip … Pizza.
Go check it out — and if you decide you need to make it (like NOW), this is the pizza crust I used for it.
Actually, it’s the crust I use for all of my pizza recipes. Every last one.
Perfect Whole Wheat Pizza Crust
Get your palate used to whole wheat crust with this blend of stone ground flour and bread flour. Perfect pizza crust every time.
Author: Rachel Lacy
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon active dry yeast
- 1 cup very warm water
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon Italian Blend Herbs, if desired
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 2½ cups flour (half stone-ground whole wheat and half bread flour)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a mixing bowl, dissolve the yeast and sugar in the warm water. Let it sit about 5 minutes and then add the remaining ingredients, mixing well with a heavy duty wooden spoon.
- The next step is to knead it; you can either knead it on a floured counter surface OR do it the lazy way: just knead it directly in the mixing bowl. I usually do this because it is just simpler for me since I’m already mixing it there.
- Roll it out on a floured surface — either one large pizza or into smaller, individual crusts.
- Add the toppings of your choice.
- Place the crust on a baking sheet, pizza pan or stone, and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust looks crispy and golden brown browned.
Notes
* The Italian Herbs are optional — I typically add them but you can leave them out if you wish.

Yum!
That looks amazing and healthy.
Okay so I’m totally doing a happy dance because every wheat crust I’ve tried hubby has ABSOLUTELY hated.. then I showed him this and he said lets try it.. plus you just made it look so delish!
Can you make it in the bread machine? I’m kind of lazy that way (obviously just the dough, not the whole pizza, LOL!)
this looks so yummy. thanks for sharing.
That looks SO good! I’ve never had a whole wheat pizza crust, but I have tried it as pasta and it was pretty good
This sounds amazing. All my favorites.
Your photos always make me want to lick the screen. Looks so good!
I wish my homemade pizza looked as good as yours.
That looks very tasty!
Wow. This looks so good.
Oh wow, this looks fantastic.
That sounds amazing! Spinach Artichoke Dip pizza… makes my mouth water. Lol.
YUM! I am obsessed with spinach & artichoke dip.
Ooh, that does look perfect! Whenever I get pizza at the pizzeria now I order whole wheat crust, I never thought to make it at home. Thanks!
WOW! This looks delicious!
Okay, you’ve got me. I need to try this. We LOVE spinach artichoke dip and adding it to pizza sounds delectable!
Loos so good and good for you!
I love making homemade pizza, but I’ve never attempted a whole wheat crust. I will definitely have to give this a try soon. On another note, could your photos get any more beuatiful!? I think not.
i do have to say this does look pretty tasty
wow, so yummy looking. If I knew pizza crust was this easy I would have tried it long before.
I would love this!!
Confession: I’ve never made pizza dough from scratch. I think I could do this, though!
The dough looks to be the perfect consistency! Not too thick and not too thin.
Looks yummy!
