Whole Wheat Pizza


Serves: 4
Total Calories: 523

Ingredients

1/2 cup water, warm (105-115ºF)
1 tablespoon olive oil, extra-virgin
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 package yeast, dry (about 1 teaspoon)
3/4 cup unbleached flour, white
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
Olive oil
1/2 pound ground beef, lean
1 cup tomato sauce, thick (preferably homemade or low-sodium)
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded (4 ounces)
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, grated
Crushed hot red pepper (optional)

Directions:

Here's a dinner project in which the whole family can participate. You can use your own homemade sauce or a commercial sauce in a jar. If it's not thick, simmer it for 20-25 minutes to reduce and thicken. Measure after reducing.

1. Combine water, 1 tablespoon olive oil, sugar, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Sprinkle yeast over mixture, stirring until dissolved. Gradually add flours, mixing well after each addition.
2. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead about 4 minutes or until smooth and elastic. Shape into a ball and place in a bowl coated with a little olive oil, turning to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place (85ºF), free from drafts, 1 hour or until doubled in bulk.
3. Coat a 12-inch pizza pan with ½ teaspoon olive oil and set aside. Punch dough down. Lightly coat hands with oil and pat dough evenly into pizza pan. Bake at 425ºF for 5 minutes.
4. Cook ground beef in a skillet over medium heat until meat is browned, stirring to crumble. Drain well on paper towels.
5. Spread 1 cup tomato sauce evenly over pizza crust, leaving a ½-inch border around edges. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over top. Sprinkle meat over mozzarella, then sprinkle on Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes. Bake at 425ºF 15 minutes, until cheese is bubbling.
