Ingredients

For Dough

  • 2 ¼ tsp active dry yeast

  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

  • 2 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 tablespoon honey

  • Table salt or fine sea salt to taste

  • 2-3 cups whole wheat flour

  • Approx 320 ml warm water (43°C)

For Pizza

  • Ready made wholemeal pizza dough, flat bread or cauliflower crust

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1/4 cup pizza sauce (low sugar option)

  • 1/2 cup mushrooms , sliced

  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, sliced

  • 1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped

  • 1-2 cups shredded chicken

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

  • 1/2 cup rocket Balsamic glaze for drizzling

Method

1. Mix water, yeast and sugar in a small bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit until it begins to foam, about 5 minutes.

2. Prepare dough. Add yeast mixture, 2 tablespoons oil, honey and salt to large bowl. Add 2 cups flour and knead with dough hook in a stand mixer or by hands until combined. Then add 1/4 cup more flour at a time and knead until dough is smooth, soft and just a bit sticky. Then knead about 3-5 more minutes.

3. Let dough rise. Roll into a ball and rub a little oil around the dough. Place into a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let rest for 20-60 minutes, or until the dough puffs up a bit.

4. Roll out the dough. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) and sprinkle flour on the counter. Cut dough in half and roll it out with a rolling pin (or toss) until ¼-inch thick and 12-inches wide.

5. Assemble your pizza. Lightly brush oil onto a pizza stone or large baking sheet and place dough on top. Spread sauce on top of dough and add your favorite toppings (or the ones listed here).

6. Bake pizza. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Slice and enjoy!
