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

Peanut Butter Swirl Brownies

 

So after hearing my kids begging for a cheat day for weeks I decided to make brownies for them. Too bad it's still not cheating! Chocolate and peanut butter with no guilt!? I'm all over it! These looked tasty and decided to give them a try. Prepare yourself for an amazing brownie that is healthy! Make sure you have some almond milk to drink with these babies they are rich! I altered the original a bit to make it completely clean eats!

 

Guess what the best part of this is!? You mix everything in the blender! Easy clean up really won me over!

 

 

 

Ingredients:



1/2 cup creamy natural peanut butter

6 oz. Non fat greek yogurt

1/4 cup almond milk

1 large egg (or 2 egg whites)

1/4 tsp salt

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 cup Baking Truvia or Stevia

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1/2 cup old-fashioned rolled oats ( I used quick oats)

 

Preheat oven to 350 degree F

 

Add everything EXCEPT the peanut butter to the blender. I would put the liquid ingredients in first to help the blending of everything. The mixture is going to be really thin. Once you have it well blended and the oats are pretty cut up it's time to move it into a 8x8 or 9x9 baking pan. Make sure you spray the pan with extra virgin olive oil.

 

Now is the best part! Time to add the peanut butter! Microwave your peanut butter until its melted thin. Then take a spoon and start drizzling the peanut butter over the brownie mixture. Slightly swirl it into the mixture. Make sure not to over mix the peanut butter into the mix. Just enough to make it look marbleized!

 

Bake at 350F for 20-25 minutes.

Excuse my baking pan....It's seen the oven for years! lol

 

 

 

Let cool before cutting. My daughter was impatient so we waited about 20 min and I moved them into the fridge for a bit. Once completely cooled enjoy! They are amazing!
