Equipment

  • 16" lipped aluminum pan (or whatever you have)

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1.5 cups bread flour
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 packet instant yeast
  • 1 teaspoon table salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 cup crushed tomatoes
  • 0.25 cup tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 3 cloves garlic , minced
  • pinch red pepper flakes
  • 3 cups mozzarella cheese
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan
  • 2 cups of toppings (cooked onions/peppers/sausage/mushrooms)
  • Hot honey for drizzling

Instructions

  • In your stand mixer or large bowl, combine water, honey, and yeast. Gently combine and let stand for 3 minutes.
  • Following the rest period, begin to mix (use the hook attachment on your stand mixer) on low. Gently pour in flours, salt, and oil. Let mix for 5 minutes on medium low speed (scraping the bowl as needed to keep the dough in the bowl). Remove from mixer and form into a ball, then place back into workbowl. Let sit for 2 hours.
  • As dough rises, Combine olive oil, tomatoes, tomato paste, garlic, pinch of salt, pepper flake, and Italian seasoning into small saucepot. Bring to just a simmer, then set aside for future use.
  • Preheat your oven to 450 deg F. Roll out to a flat 16", move to your pizza pan (looking for 1" overhang). Dock dough with a fork and make small slits into the overhung dough every few inches. Roll the overhung dough back into the pie, forming the crimped crust lip. Perfection isn’t a must here, just get some volume with your roll.
  • Sauce your pizza, cheese your pizza, and top your pizza. Bake your pizza for 18-20 minutes or until golden and awesome. Remove from oven and drizzle with a bit of that hot honey to finish. Enjoy!
