Recipes: Whole Wheat Pizza



I love Pizza!! I will have to say that Round Table is my favorite franchise. But I do love trying out diffferent kinds. 
I am a thin crust over deep dish kinda girl.

Well I wanted to try and make my own pizza dough and found out it was pretty simple.

Here is a link to the actual website I found it at. But below I have written for you also.

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups of warm water
1 T of dry active yeast
1 t of sugar
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 cup of white flour
1t salt
1T olive oil


Instructions:

In a large bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water. Sprinkle yeast over the top, and let stand for about 10 minutes, until foamy.

Stir the olive oil and salt into the yeast mixture, then mix in the whole wheat flour and 1 cup of the all-purpose flour until dough starts to come together. Tip dough out onto a surface floured with the remaining all-purpose flour, and knead until all of the flour has been absorbed, and the ball of dough becomes smooth, about 10 minutes. Place dough in an oiled bowl, and turn to coat the surface. Cover loosely with a towel, and let stand in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
When the dough is doubled, tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and divide into 2 pieces for 2 thin crust, or leave whole to make one thick crust. Form into a tight ball. Let rise for about 45 minutes, until doubled.

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Roll a ball of dough with a rolling pin until it will not stretch any further. Then, drape it over both of your fists, and gently pull the edges outward, while rotating the crust. When the circle has reached the desired size, place on a well oiled pizza pan. Top pizza with your favorite toppings, such as sauce, cheese, meats, or vegetables.


Bake for 16 to 20 minutes (depending on thickness) in the preheated oven, until the crust is crisp and golden at the edges, and cheese is melted on the top.


Enjoy!!

Recipe: Granola


I have been really loving making granola. Its easy and super cheap...well I think it is. I have been finding new things to add into it. Here is a vegan granola recipe!!! I even make my own apple sauce by steaming apples and then pureeing them in the Vitamix. 2 apples yields about a cup.



Ingredients
3 cups rolled oats
1 cup coconut flakes (I like organic unsweetened)
1T cinnamon
2T cocoa
2T Coconut Sugar
1 Cup Applesauce
2T Honey

Optional:
1-2 apples peeled and chopped

Preheat oven to 400
Lightly spray pan with EVOO.
Combine dry ingredients.
Mix in applesauce.
Drizzle about 2 T of honey and stir in.
Mix in any fruit or nuts of choice.
Spread out onto pan.
Every 10-15 minutes, use a wooden spoon to move the granola about so it doesn't burn.


Enjoy alone, with milk, or over some yummy yogurt!
