Clean Pizza Dough

Yesterday, I was craving pizza so badly! When you walk out our house you will find a Domino's and a Pizza Hut within 2 blocks!!! Not good at all when you just craving pizza like crazy...all those crappy, non-food ingredients. Gross.


Why choose either of those pizza companies when you can make your own homemade, real food pizza dough for pennies. Yes, pennies. :)

Did I mention it is so easy to make? Well it is. Yes!

Ingredients
  • 3 1/4 cups of white whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 1/4 tsp yeast (one small package - if you buy yeast that way)
  • 1 tbsp coconut palm sugar
  • 1/4 cup of EVOO (extra virgin olive oil)
  • 1 1/4 cup of water


Directions
  1. In a separate small bowl mix the yeast, water, and coconut palm sugar together and let it sit for 10 minutes (until it starts to get foamy).
  2. In another bowl mix the rest of the ingredients together and pour the wet yeast mixture together. 
  3. Stir everything together and knead the dough for 3 minutes.
  4. Cover and let the dough sit until it rises, roughly 30 minutes. I put it in the oven. 
  5. Divide the dough into two portions and freeze if you are not making a pan pizza - like I was. 
  6. Roll out the dough to fit in the pan.
  7. Bake pan for 5 minutes at 450 degrees. 
  8. Add clean homemade pizza sauce and toppings. 
  9. Bake for 15 minutes at 450 degrees. 
  10. Slice and serve!
