PIZZA DOUGH

Posted by Carole-Anne on January 30, 2008

I know most of you are going to go, oh no, I have to make the dough?  Let’s try it.  Healthy Recipes is so in favor of making our own pizza dough because, then we know what is in it! 

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup warm water

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp sea salt

1 tsp yeast

1 tsp sugar

2 cups whole wheat flour

2 cups Nutri-blend or regular flour

NEXT TO DO: 

Place sugar in 1 cup warm water to dissolve. 

Add yeast; when foamy add salt, oil and some of the flour.

Beat until smooth, then stir in the rest of the flour.

Place on board and knead until smooth. 

Place in a greased bowl and let rise until doubled in size (will take approximately 45 minutes).   Please cover the bowl with a cloth.

Punch down and divide into two equal pieces.  Pizza dough will make 2 medium (12-inch circle) pizzas.

Add toppings and bake 15 minutes at 450F degrees.

Note:  In high altitudes turn temperature back to 375F degrees. 

Healthy Recipe serves 4.

Healthy Recipes Pizza Toppings will be under Main Entrees, so take a look.  Happy munching.

If you are having guests for dinner, look under Salads for ideas to entertain with pizza.
