This came from my copycat e-cookbook that I altered by doing half white and half wheat flours; it originally called for 3 cups all-purpose flour. The trick here isn't so much in the ingredients as it's in the technique in the last few steps! I'm thinking that this dough would do wonderful with some nutritional yeast added for a cheesy flavor...who says you can't health-ify fast food! :D This yields one 12 crust or one 9 x 13 sicilian pie if making for a group/family, or two to three 8-9 individual crusts if making for just yourself. NOTE: the 30-minute title is just for prepping the dough itself, not baking the actual pizza as oven strengths vary but the science in the yeast is all the same. Ingredients:
1 1/3 cups warm water |
2 teaspoons sugar |
1 1/2 teaspoons active dry yeast |
1 1/4 teaspoons salt |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour |
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder |
1/4 teaspoon onion powder |
cornmeal, for sprinkling |
Directions:
1. Place the warm water in a large bowl and put the sugar inches Proof the yeast in it for about 10-15 minutes or until foamy.
2. Add the remaining ingredients except the cornmeal and knead until elastic-y, just a couple minutes.
3. Cover with a dish towel loosely, and let rise for about 30 minutes. In the final countdown, preheat the oven to 400°F.
4. Read the description for the right pan size to use- then grease it with cooking spray and sprinkle the bottom lightly with cornmeal.
5. Depending on how thick the crust is laid out in the pan, bake for 5-8 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove the pan from the oven then lower the temperature to 350°F.
6. Add your desired sauce, cheese, toppings, and seasonings and bake for another 10-15 minutes, then slice, serve, and enjoy.
