Friday night has become pizza night at our house. Everyone loves pizza, even our extremely picky eater Emma (depending on the toppings of course), so this is a very popular meal. Having tons of vegetables in the house because of our CSA deliveries, pizza is the ideal food - you can put anything you want on it, throw some cheese on top, and you are all set. We love using basil pesto instead of tomato sauce on ours.
Here is my recipe for whole wheat pizza crust:
1 envelope Dry Yeast
1 cup Warm Water
2 3/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Sugar
2 tbsp Olive Oil
Add yeast to the warm water and let sit. In a stand mixer, combine dry ingredients and then add the olive oil. Add water and yeast mixture and knead for about 5 minutes. Let rise, covered, for 30 minutes. Roll out dough (makes two smaller pizzas or one very big one), add desired ingredients and bake at 450 degrees for about 20 minutes or until crust is fully baked and cheese has melted nicely.
Enjoy and let me know how it turns out!
