Pizza

While we were in Utah my sister-in-law made homemade pizza for us one night, and it was soooo good. So I got the recipe from her. It was really easy, but you do have to plan ahead a little since it needs to rise for 40 minutes.

1 pkg yeast
1 tablespoon honey
1 cup warm water
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/4 c. white flour
corn meal
pizza toppings

Dissolve package of yeast in water with honey and let stand 5 minutes. Add wheat flour and 1 cup of white flour. On a floured surface knead dough for 6 minutes, adding the additional flour to prevent it from sticking (add more if necessary). Roll into a ball when finished.

Spray bowl with cooking spray. Cover with a towel and let dough rise in a warm place (at least 85 degrees) for 40 minutes free from drafts or until it doubles in size.

Spray baking sheet with cooking spray and lightly dust with cornmeal. roll out ball of dough on baking sheet. Bake on lowest rack in the oven on 500 degrees fro 8 minutes. Remove from oven and add pizza sauce, cheese and toppings. Bake for an additional 6-8 minutes on the highest rack in oven or until the cheese melts.

I made Hawaiian and barbecue chicken pizzas for the missionaries the other night, and it turned out really well. I liked it anyway.
