Whole Wheat Pizza Crust

Well I haven't been great about keeping up this blog, and now I'm being lazy and just repeating an old recipe that's on our family blog, but perhaps I'll have some new recipes to share in the future. I'm finding that because I'm so non regimented in my cooking, I don't always do a very good job of measuring the things I add or subtract from a recipe. The result of that is that I often make things that turn out yummy, but I can never repeat them exactly because I just dumped in a little of this and a little of that. So, I have several recipes that I'm needing to keep better track of so I can post them. Hopefully soon. But for now, enjoy some pizza!

Whole Wheat Pizza - Makes one large pizza or 4-5 personal size pizzas


1 1/2 Tbsp yeast
1 c warm water
3 1/2 c whole wheat flour
1 T wheat gluten
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
1 tsp dried marjoram
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp sea salt
1/2 c grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 c olive oil


Combine yeast and water with a drizzle of honey to activate. In a mixer, combine flour, gluten, spices, salt, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well. Combine oil and yeast mixture, then add to flour mixture. Knead in mixer until dough forms and is soft and pliable. Remove from mixer and let stand 30 minutes.

Roll out and shape as desired. Lately I've been dividing it into four or five personal sized pizzas just for fun. Bake in the oven at 425 for 7-10 minutes (time depends on pizza size). Remove from oven and add sauce, toppings, and cheese. Place back in the oven and cook until the cheese is melty and slightly browned.
