You can eat healthy and have your pizza, too! In fact, we’ve come to love homemade pizza best!

You can make any kind of pizza you want, add as many toppings as you want!

Sometimes we have a buffet with exotic pizzas like the one pictured above (black tomato, asparagus, onopn, and feta), BBQ chicken pizza, taco pizza, onion-bacon-tomato…whatever you like!

It may sound like a lot of work but actually, homemade pizza is pretty simple, especially if you make a big batch of dough and freeze it!

Ingredients (for two 8 slice pizzas)

4 cups flour (I use a combination of Einkorn, sprouted spelt, and Bob’s Organic unbleached white) — but any wheat flour will do

1 tablespoon sea salt

2 tablespoons honey

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons yeast

1 cup water, 110 degrees plus more to mix in

Whatever toppings you fancy!

 

Preparation

Proof the yeast: dissolve yeast and honey in the one cup of warm water. Allow to bubble and grow 5-7 minutes.

Add flour to the mixture and stir. Add salt, oil, and 1/2 cup of water. Mix together with your hands. Continue to add water a little at a time until a nice dough forms…soft but not sticky. Kneed soft dough until smooth and stretchy. If dough does become sticky, simply add more flour.

Once dough is kneaded, cover bowl with towel and set in warm place to rise until double (usually 1 hour).

Once doubled, remove dough from bowl and punch down, releasing all air bubbles. If freezing the dough, do so at this point by freezing fist size balls in quart size bags. Otherwise divide dough in two and roll out onto floured parchment paper. Puncture crusts with fok all over.

Bake crust at 400 degrees 7-8 minutes until light golden in color. Pull out and press down any bubbles that form for crispy, chewy crust.

Top pizzas however you wish, and bake until done.

Enjoy!
