Pizza!

We love our pizza in this family. A good pizza place is the first thing we try and find when ever we move. Right now we are very lucky to live down the street from a great gourmet pizza place. Its nice to have something healthy and delicious so close when we just don't feel like cooking.

As good as there pizza is, our favorite it so make it at home. I have been working on making a good crust for about three years and now have it down pat. I started with a Jamie Oliver recipe and have cut out the sugar and made it with half whole wheat flour. It has gotten to the point that once i remind myself of the proportions i can make the dough by eye, without measuring.


It makes 3 medium sized pizzas:
1 3/4 cup Whole wheat flour
1 3/4 cup Hard bread flour
1/2 tbsp Salt
1/2 tbsp Bread yeast
1/2 tbsp Honey
2 tbsp Olive oil
1 1/2 cup warm Water

In a large bowl mix water, yeast, honey and olive oil. Let sit 10-15 min. Add whole wheat flour and salt. Mix and then slowly add the bread flour until it forms a nice dough. Turn out onto a floured counter and knead, adding more flour as needed, for about 5-10 min. Cover and let rise about an hour. Punch down and then roll out into 3 rounds. Top and bake for 12-15 min in a oven at full-wack. Enjoy!
