The girls wanted PIZZA! I did as well, but didn't want to take the time to make a cauliflower crust and I was kinda tired of always using tortillas, so I pulled out the old tried and true. This is a nice crust as it only needs to rise 15-20 minutes before preparing as pizza crust!
- 2 cups warm water
- 1 T yeast
- 4 cups flour
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 T Sea Salt
- 2 T Italian Seasoning
- 1 T Minced Garlic
In mixing bowl, mix warm water and yeast. Let sit 5-10 (closer to 10, usually for me) until mixture is bubbly. Add 2 cups flour (one cup at a time) to the yeast mixture and mix well with dough hook attachment on your Kitchen Aid. Add the additional 3 cups flour (one cup at a time), salt, Italian Seasoning and Minced Garlic. Continue to mix/ knead dough with dough hook until dough becomes a smooth ball (you may need more/less flour, depending on weather - this time, we had to add another almost 1/4 cup for dough to be to my liking). Cover bowl with clean kitchen towel. Let dough rest for 10 to 20 minutes.
Evenly coat pizza pan with Olive oil.
Preheat oven to 400F. Split dough into two pieces (these make very large pizzas, you may need to split dough into 4 or more pieces, depending on size of your pizza pans). Sprinkle top of dough with flour. Roll one part of dough out on pizza pan. Continue with second part of dough.
Top dough with whatever toppings your family likes. Bake at 400F for 15 -20 minutes, until cheese is light golden brown.
This recipe can make cheese sticks - load the dough with lots of cheese and bake a little less (around 12-15 minutes).
Additionally, this can make cinnamon sticks - leave out the Italian Seasoning and Garlic when mixing dough, use butter instead of olive oil when rolling out dough. Spread additional softened butter over rolled out dough and then sprinkle with mixture of cinnamon/sugar. Bake around 12 - 15 minutes).
