Whole wheat pizza dough and sauce

Ingredients:

Dough:

• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 cup warm water
• 1 package active dry yeast
• 1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 4 teaspoon vital wheat gluten
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Sauce:

 

1 8oz can tomato sauce (no salt added)

1 1/2 TBS dry basil

1 1/2 TBS dry oregano

1 tsp onion powder

1 1/2 tsp garlic powder

1/4 tsp sea salt

1/4 tsp pepper

 

 

 

Mix your honey and warm water together. dissolve the honey completely. Then add the yeast and let it sit (do not move the bowl or stir). It should foam.

 

 

 

While all this is taking place, mix all your dry ingredients in a bowl.

 

 

Once you have a nice bowl of foam, pour it into the flour mixture and stir until just blended. Add 1 tbsp. olive oil and blend again. I had to knead a little with my hands to get everything blended.

Coat the base of a bowl with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Then, roll your ball of dough around in it to coat the surface. Cover the bowl securely with plastic wrap and let the dough rise for 1 hour

 

If your dough is very wet, add 1/4 cup extra oat flour while you knead a second time. Mold the dough into a ball once more and let it rise for another half hour.

 

 

Mix sauce ingredients together. If you want heavy sauce just double the recipe.

 

Roll the dough with a rolling-pin to about 1/4 inch thickness. Form to your pizza pan or a cookie sheet, and let rise for another 20-30 minutes (covered with plastic wrap) while you prepare your pizza toppings.

Add pizza toppings...on mine I did half and half for me and my kids. The pepperoni is turkey pepperoni....my half is spinach, grilled chicken, olives, mushrooms, and mozzarella cheese.

 

I baked this for 40 min at 350
