Ingredients
- 1 package of active dry yeast
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- ½ cup water plus 2 tablespoons (using a thermometer check water temp – 100-110degrees F)
- 1 ½ cups whole-wheat flour
- ¾ tsp salt
- 2 teaspoons canola oil
- 1 tablespoon cornmeal for the pan
Instructions
- Stir in yeast and the sugar into the warm water and let stand until foamy (about 10 minutes). This process is called proofing.
- Mix ¾ cup of flour, salt and oil thoroughly. Pour in the yeast mixture and stir until a ball is formed. Use the remaining flour if the ball is too wet and does not form a spongy ball of dough
- Roll the ball of dough onto a lightly floured board. Knead the dough by rolling and turning with the heel of your hand until its smooth and springy
- Place the ball of dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with wrap or cloth and put in a warm place to allow to rise, about ½ hour
- Pre heat oven to 425 degrees F
- Roll out dough into a circle or a rectangle. Place the dough into a prepared pan and Bake crust for 6 minutes until firm
- Cover the top of the crust with 1-cup tomato sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese or any of your favorite toppings such as green peppers and onions
- After adding toppings place back in oven for about 15 minutes until golden brown and cheese has melted
