Healthy alternative, not a fan of the whole wheat

We’re definitely the ‘cooking and baking from scratch’ type of people. So when we get stuff to review that we get to make, it’s always a fun time.

I’ve only made pizza from scratch a couple of times, but I’ve never had a pizza using whole wheat flour. We’ve made bread before that’s whole wheat, but in all honestly. If you’re not going for the whole healthy eating, whole wheat should never be an option, especially for something like a pizza.

While I’m at it, would be a nice thing to say, if you’re into buying local, and buying Canadian, that this product from Sixteen Grains is Canadian-produced, made from farm-fresh ingredients. Sixteen Grains is headquartered in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

It’s quite easy to make following the instruction on the back of the bag, and adding our custom toppings on the top of the pizza. I think overall, it took me about 30 minutes to make the pizza from prep to finished and ready for eating.

The final product, taste-wise was not exactly a win for the family. It wasn’t a crowd pleaser unfortunately. My husband and daughter had a hard time getting the pizza down. It was quite dry - which should’ve been expected as it’s pretty typical of any type of thing made with whole wheat, or at least it’s consistent with every other bread we’ve made with whole wheat substitute.

But if you’re looking for an alternative to regular flour, (and not gluten-free) this is definitely an option. It just wouldn’t be the first thing I grab down the aisle at the supermarket.

If anything I’ve said has somehow peaked your interest, this Pizza Dough Mix is now available at Save on Foods in Western Canada.

I loved how easy it was to make

I loved how easy it was to make,you just add water, and the oil is optional. Then you just knead it and roll out the dough. My husband and I like our pizza crust thicker,,so I didn’t roll it out very thin, but if you prefer thinner, you should roll it out quite a bit. The dough itself is super light and delicious; if you let it sit for 15 minutes, it gets super crispy. I was impressed that there are only three ingredients in the dough and that they’re all fresh. I definitely want to buy more.

I really wanted to love this product

There is no yeast in the mix so the dough did not rise like pizza dough. The package made enough for 4x 6” pizzas for a family of 4. Dough smelled off.

Healthy Pizza Dough with lots of Fibre

First impression is the packaging gives off farmers market vibes, it wouldn’t be my first or second choice when picking a pizza dough though to be honest. Making it is very easy, literally just add water! When I prepared it, I wish I had rolled it thinner than I did or added more toppings because it does have a strong ‘healthy’ taste to it. Also, be careful how much you eat because I paid the consequences of how much fibre is in it. I do love that this is a Saskatchewan business though.

Easy and clean ingredients

Love a Canadian brand! Love the clean ingredients and how easy it was to put together, just add water. I did have a hard time getting the right texture of the dough (maybe I needed more water) so it was really tough to roll out. But tasted great!

First time making at home pizza!

My first time making pizza at home and honestly, I was really happy with the end result. My pizza came out really well and it’s really easy to follow the directions on the back of the bag was able to make three small pizzas so I think even portion size is very good perfect activity for families or just with a partner or even by yourself would definitely recommend purchasing this.

Only 3 ingredients!!

What we loved most about this pizza dough dry mix is that it has only 3 ingredients!! No added anything!
It was really easy to make with only a few steps to follow. I also didn't have to knead the dough for it to work.
The texture is different from what we are used to with white flour and the taste is almost like rye bread. But neither of these are a deal breaker at all.
My daughter had no problem with the texture and wanted the leftovers for school today.
I would 100% recommend Sixteen Grains Pizza Dough to friends and family!
