Pizza















Homemade pizzas for dinner last night. I made whole wheat and regular individual pizza crusts. I prefer the whole wheat. We had a variety of toppings, C made a Canadian bacon, I made a white vegetable one with zucchini, tomatoes, onions and mushrooms and one sausage & mushroom. B who apparently never saw a pizza before, piled mostly meat in the middle of his pizzas then topped it with sauce and cheese.

Pizza Crust

2 cups unbleached white flour
1 to 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 package yeast
1 cup warm water
2 Tablespoons olive oil
cornmeal

In a large bowl, combine 2 cups flour, undissolved yeast and salt. Stir very warm water and olive oil into dry ingredients. Stir i enough of the whole wheat flour to make a soft dough. Knead dough on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 4-6 minutes. Cover and let rest on floured surface for 10 minutes. Lightly oil one 14 inch or two 12 inch pizza pans. Sprinkle with cornmeal. Form dough into a smooth ball. Roll dough to fit pans. Add sauce and toppings. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 20-30 minutes until done. Time depends on the thickness.
