Homemade Pizza

Happy Friday!

Today im going to leave you with my favorite homemade pizza recipe while I deep clean my house for my son's birthday party! (Details on that next week!)

Whole Wheat Pizza: 

2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup warm water
1 packet of yeast 
2 tablespoons of olive oil
1 tablespoon sugar 


Dissolve yeast packet into the cup of water in a mixing bowl. Sprinkle in the sugar. Let it rise 5-7 minutes. 

Mix in the flour, salt, and olive oil. Knead dough by hand or with a dough hook for about five minutes. Place in an oiled or buttered bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Put it in a warm spot and let it rise for an hour. 

At this point you should start your homemade pizza sauce. Or you could just buy some. But I like our homemade sauce. 

1 can tomato sauce 
Seasonings
1 tablespoon flour

Pour tomato sauce into a sauce pan and turn the heat on the lowest setting. Next, add in your seasonings. The longer they sit the better it tastes. I throw in some garlic power, salt, parsley and Italian seasoning to taste. Add the flour and give it a good stir.

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees.

Once an hour has passed, knead the dough for a minute and then roll it out onto a pizza pan or even a cookie sheet. (Don't forget non-stick cooking spray)  Add your sauce and toppings. We love fresh mozzarella and pepperoni. Bake for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown. 


Enjoy!
