Pizza was on the menu tonight! It was delicious!

I found this pizza recipe and have made it a few times. It's pretty simple and easy to make (which is always a plus!). 

The dough recipe makes enough for 2 - 15" round pizzas. I used all the dough in this 11x17 pan.

Ingredients for the dough:

1-1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour

2 cups unbleached all purpose flour

1-1/4 cup water

1/4 cup warm water for the yeast

1 packet yeast

2 Tablespoons canola oil

1-1/2 teaspoon salt 

(I added some some garlic powder, onion powder and italian seasoning)

Directions:

Oil the inside of a large bowl and set aside. This is for the dough to rise.

Pour 1/4 cup warm water in a large warmed bowl. Stir in the yeast and set aside for 10 minutes. Then stir in the remaining water (1-1/4 cup), oil and salt.

Add the flours and stir until pretty well blended. It will not be smooth.

Turn out onto a floured counter and knead until smooth, adding a little more flour when you need to keep it from sticking. A little sticky is okay. Form into a ball. Place the dough ball in the large greased bowl and turn the dough so that it gets oil on all sides. If you don't do this you will get a dry crust on the outside of the ball. Cover the bowl and set aside (out of a draft) until the dough has doubled in size - 40 to 60 minutes.

The dough ready for all the goodies!

For toppings I added pizza sauce - I would love a homemade recipe if anyone has one. Normally I avoid all dairy, but I did add some low fat mozzarella cheese. 

Also vegetable "sausage" that I actually found at Safeway, spinach, onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, and pineapple.

Ready for the oven (preheat to 425 and cook for 20 minutes)

This is actually A LOT of pizza so would be good to make when you have a crowd to feed!
