Healthy Whole Wheat Pizza
Sorry it took so long to post but my schedule has been crazy. So here was Saturday's creation, whole wheat pizza...made the dough myself. I was very excited I always wanted to try to make dough but a healthy kind. That same day I watched Tyler Florence make pizza he kicked the idea into high gear. It started out pretty good the dough was rising the sauce was heating the oven was on, all the ingredients were in order. There was just one problem, how do we get the dough on the pizza stoned without getting it all over. Minor problem, I wanted to use the baking sheet like Tyler but NOOOOOOOOOOO, Frank wanted the stone, so lets just say it made for some interesting pizza making, with a yummy turn out.
FYI: For this use the baking sheet, not the stone. This dough makes 2 small personal pizzas. (83 calories 1g Fat, 196 Sodium)
Ingredients: Dough
1 (.25 oz) Active Dry Yeast
1 Cup of Warm Water
2 Cups of Whole Wheat Flour
1/4 cup of Wheat Germ
1 tsp Salt
1 TBSP Honey
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl combine your yeast and water. Let it stand till it is creamy (about 10 minutes). In a large bowl add your flour, wheat germ, and salt. Make a well in the middle of the mixture and add the yeast along with the honey. Stir altogether and let it sit covered for about an hour.
Frank's Pizza
1 Piece of Dough
Tomato Sauce (on bottom)
Fresh Buffalo Mozzarella (3 Pieces)
1 Palm full of Shredded Low Fat Mozzarella
Note: This was on the stone a bit messy dripped all over
Francesca's Pizza
1 Piece of Dough
Tomato sauce (on Bottom)
3 TBSP cooked up Ground Turkey
3 Stalks of Asparagus (chopped)
2 Slices of Avocados (placed after cooking)
sprinkle of crumbled goat cheese
Note: This was on a baking sheet sprayed and pressed with my hands, worked much better.
Both Pie's cooked for 20 minutes. They were good but obviously mine was better. I served this with a large salad and of course some chilled Vino.
