Craving the soft, chewy, and flavorful pizza crust you get from Domino’s but want to stay on track with your Weight Watchers plan? This Domino’s Style Pizza Dough recipe brings the classic pizzeria crust right to your kitchen with a healthier twist.

Ingredients (Makes 2 Medium Pizza Crusts or 8 Slices)

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole wheat flour
• 2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast (1 packet)
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 tsp sugar or sugar substitute (optional)
• 3/4 cup warm water (110°F)
• 1 tbsp olive oil (or light olive oil spray for fewer points)

Instructions

1. Activate the Yeast

1. In a small bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, and sugar (if using). Stir gently and let it sit for 5-7 minutes, or until the mixture becomes frothy. This step ensures the yeast is active.

2. Mix the Dough

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and salt.
2. Add the activated yeast mixture and olive oil to the dry ingredients. Stir until the dough starts to come together.

3. Knead the Dough

1. Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
2. If the dough is too sticky, sprinkle in a bit more flour, one tablespoon at a time.

4. Let the Dough Rise

1. Lightly oil a bowl and place the dough inside. Cover it with a damp cloth or plastic wrap.
2. Let the dough rise in a warm spot for 1-1.5 hours, or until it doubles in size.

5. Shape the Dough

1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
2. Punch down the dough and divide it into two equal portions for medium pizzas or keep it whole for a large pizza.
3. Roll out the dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness and shape.

6. Pre-Bake (Optional)

1. For a crispier crust, pre-bake the rolled-out dough on a baking sheet or pizza stone for 5 minutes.

7. Add Toppings and Bake

1. Top the crust with your favorite Weight Watchers-friendly toppings. Suggestions include tomato sauce, reduced-fat mozzarella, vegetables, and lean proteins.
2. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
