Introduction

No time is needed to let this pizza crust raise--think hand-tossed crust, but using part whole wheat flour. Toppings are flexible, and the results are a crowd pleaser!

Ingredients

    Crust
    1 cup warm water
    2 tsp active dry yeast
    2 tsp olive oil
    approx 1 cup unbleached flour
    approx 1 cup whole wheat flour

    Sauce
    1 6oz can tomato paste
    approx 2 Tbsp water
    1/2 tsp italian seasoning
    1/4 tsp garlic powder
    1/4 tsp dried oregano
    1/8 tsp basil

    Toppings
    1 cup broccoli slaw
    1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced (calculated with white mushrooms)
    1/2 can black olives, sliced
    1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes

    1-1/2 cup shredded low-fat mozzarella
    1/2 cup shredded cheddar




Directions

Preheat oven to 400. Grease pizza pan with spray oil.

Pour warm water into large bowl, sprinkle in yeast, and allow to dissolve. When yeast has dissolved, pour in olive oil and about 1 cup of the flours. Beat until smooth. Stir in remaining flours until the dough forms a ball and is only slightly sticky. Center ball of dough on pizza pan and, with floured hands, spread out to the edges. Bake in hot oven about 10 minutes.

While crust is cooking, prepare sauce by thinning tomato paste with water to desired consistency (If you double this recipe for 2 pizzas, 1 can of tomato paste and 1 can of tomato sauce stirred together is perfect.); stir in seasonings. Prepare toppings.

When crust is baked, spread sauce evenly over crust, add veggies, sprinkle mozzarella and cheddar evenly over toppings, and bake another 10 minutes until cheese is melted and slightly golden. Let pizza set 2 minutes, cut and serve.
