Pizza

Nothing better than homemade pizza! I toyed with the dough recipe included in my bread machine to bump up the amount of whole wheat allowing me to pretend that pizza is healthy. It worked, but the dough was too wet and needed extra flour when rolling out.

Pizza Dough
2/3 cup water
1/2 tsp honey
1 tsp salt
1 tblsp extra virgin olive oil
1 cup bread flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/4 tsp instant yeast
I'm not sure how to translate the recipe to be made without a bread machine, but the machine kneads for 25 minutes and then rises for an hour.

Pizza Sauce
1 14.5 oz can diced tomato
2 tblsp extra virgin olive oil
2 tblsp sugar
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp oregano
dash onion powder
dash crushed red pepper
pinch salt
Combine all ingredients in saucepan. Bring to simmer then reduce to low. Cook 20-30 minutes to reduce. Use stick blender to puree. Let sauce cool in refrigerator before topping pizza.
