Recipes for the Health Conscious but Clumsy Chef Quick and Easy Whole Wheat Pizza

2 cups whole wheat flour

1 tablespoon or one packet of yeast

3/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup of hot water

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 tablespoon raw sugar*

1. In a big mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, yeast, and salt.
2. Add hot water, olive oil, and sugar.
3. Stir until it has a doughy consistency.
4. Let the dough sit for 15-30 min. It all depends on the room temperature. I found that in the winter it takes the full 30 mins, but in the summer it only takes 15 min. 
5. You can roll the entire thing out to create a 16 inch pizza, or split in half to make two 8 inch pizzas.
6. Add toppings. Our favorites are mushroom, garlic, peppers, and onions
7. Bake at 425 degrees for 17 min.

 All ovens are a little different so check after 15 mins. You may need to leave it in closer to 20 min.

You can make extra and freeze it to use at a later date. Make sure when you freeze it that the bag or whatever you freeze it in has some flour in it so the dough doesn't stick. Or you could just make sure the dough is floured. If you freeze it in a bag, keep the bag open to give the dough space to rise.when defrosting it.  

Enjoy! Remember if you have any question or comments please let us know.

*Yes, there is sugar. Sugar is needed to fuel the yeast which makes the dough rise. After the yeast uses the sugar, it is metabolized into a gas!
