Last week we offered three recipes for starting your days off right for the new year, and today we present to you a pizza dough recipe that will satisfy your love for pizza and cut down on your sugar and oil intake at dinner, lunch, or even breakfast – a win-win! Add your favorite toppings for tonight’s meal, or freeze for use later on in the week. Enjoy!
What you’ll need:
- 1 (1/4 oz) package active dry yeast
- 1 cup warm water
- 2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1/4 cup wheat germ
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon pure honey
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand for about 10 minutes, or until creamy.
- In a large bowl, combine flour, wheat germ and salt; make a well in the middle, adding honey and yeast mixture. Stir well to combine, cover and set in a warm place for about 5 minutes to rise. Store in an air tight container or storage bag in the freezer, or move on to step 4.
- Roll dough on a floured pizza pan or stone and poke a few holes in it with a fork, let sit for about 5 minutes more and then bake in preheated oven for 10-15 minutes. Remove from oven, add desired toppings and bake for about 20 minutes or until crust reaches desired crispiness.
