this_one

Ingredients

2 tsp instant yeast
1 1/4 tsp salt
1 tablespoon dough improver or nonfat dry milk
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup enriched, unbleached white flour (can substitute whole wheat, oat or any other flour of your choosing here)
3/4 cup lukewarm water (you may need another 1/8 to 1/4 cup)
2 tablespoons olive oil
One can tomato sauce
Oregano, red pepper, basil, garlic powder
Toppings of your choice!

Directions:

1) Mix all dry ingredients for the dough.
2) add the lukewarm water and olive oil, mix. May need to add addt’l water but add slowly!
3) Knead into a soft, supple dough. about five minutes. Cover with lightly greased plastic wrap (I use olive oil spray) and let rest for 15 minutes (can be left for up to one hour) in an out of the way, warmer area
4) Return to the dough, knead again, and again let rest for 15 minutes to an hour.
5) preheat oven to 400 degrees. If you have a pizza stone place it in the oven while the oven warms.
6) Oil the pizza pan or stone and press the dough out onto the pan, to your desired thickness.
7) brush crust with olive oil and bake without toppings for 6 minutes (while this bakes, heat your can of tomato sauce and add the spices. Heat on medium to med high)
8) Spread tomato sauce on pizza dough and add toppings.
9) Bake for 12 minutes and check, depending on the thickness, it may take up to 20 minutes to bake

I use vegan cheese and vegan toppings, and I omit the nonfat dry milk in the recipe, and it still tastes great!!
