Whole wheat Vegetarian Pizza

Tonight we feel like having pizza, to make it healthier, I have been looking for wholewheat recipe and found this one on the internet, and have made some minor modifications to perfectly adapt it to our tastes. It was a breeze to make with the bread machine, and it was absolutely delicious, with thin crisp crust and fresh vegetable toppings.

14 inch round pizzas

• 1 1/3 cups water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 2 teaspoons yeast

Directions:

I'm using a pizza stone to have a crispier crust. Put the pizza stone in the bottom rack of the cold oven and turn it on at 450 degrees for about 40 mn, so the pizza stone is well heated. Be careful handling it as it is very hot.

Prep Time: 15 mins

1         Add ingredients in the order given into the bread machine pan.

2.        Start dough cycle. (On my machine this takes 2 hours).

3.        Once the dough is done remove it from the pan onto a work surface dusted with corn meal.

4.        Roll dough to fit the shape of your pizza stone, try to roll the dough out as thin as possible. This recipe makes two 14 inch round pizzas (I'm using half the dough, and put the other half in a zipblock bag to freeze for next time).

      Take the heated pizza stone out of the oven, dust with corn meal. Lay the pizza dough on top. Put in the oven for 3-4 mn. Remove from oven using mittens.

5.         Brush the crust lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with dry oregano, tomato sauce, generous portion of mozzarella cheese, and thinly sliced vegetable (I use onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, black olives, tomatoes, basil leaves), season lightly, sprinkle parmesan cheese on top. 

6.         Bake for 10-12 minutes.
