This isn't spectacular, but it's the best I've come up with for a no rise crust without sugar or white flour that I like and my toddler will eat. This makes one regular size crust (12-14 inch diameter) and lasts my 2 year old and I for 2 meals. When hubby comes home from Iraq... I'll probably need to make a second just for him :-) Comments welcome, I'm open for changes! Ingredients:
1 tablespoon active dry yeast |
1 cup warm water |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour |
2 tablespoons wheat gluten (optional, it helps it rise more like white flour but i usually do without) (optional) |
Directions:
1. Dissolve the yeast in the water in a large bowl. Add the rest of the ingredients in and mix.
2. Dump onto a well floured surface. Knead into a smooth dough (takes me about 3-5 minutes tops).
3. Roll out and press down onto a greased pizza pan (I like to sprinkle a little corn meal on the pan before pressing down the dough).
4. Add toppings as desired and bake at 450 for around 12-15 minutes. If you have a stone, I bake it on the bottom rack so it evenly cooks the crust without the cheese getting too crunchy.
5. You can also add some wheat germ or ground flax seed for added healthiness.
