This is a really simple pizza recipe, so much better than store-bought or even delivery. I love to make this pizza for our Saturday night movie! I use my recipe for Italian Turkey Sausage for a topper on this recipe. Cook time includes time to rise. Mmmmm...so good! Ingredients:
1 tablespoon dry yeast |
1 1/2 cups warm water (105-115f) |
1 1/2 cups white flour |
2 cups whole wheat flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon sugar (optional) |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
14 1/2 ounces whole tomatoes, crushed |
1/4 fresh basil leaf, torn |
1 teaspoon kosher salt |
1 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 teaspoon onion powder |
1 garlic clove, crushed and minced |
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil |
1 lb italian turkey sausage |
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded |
1 cup colby-monterey jack cheese, shredded |
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated |
1 large red onion, chopped |
10 large white mushrooms, sliced |
Directions:
1. Mix yeast and water in a large bowl; place in warm spot for about five minutes.
2. Sift flour, salt, and sugar into the yeast. Mix well, then add olive oil and form a soft ball.
