Instructions
Pizza Dough
- Mix 1/4 cup warm water and sugar until the sugar disolves.
- Add the yeast, mix and let stand until foamy.
- Mix in the salt and the oil.
- Add the flour and remaining warm water.
- Mix all the ingredients.
- Sprinkle dry flour onto the counter and turn the dough onto the floured counter.
- Knead the dough for 5 minutes adding more flour or water as needed.
- One the dough forms a ball and is elastic. Place it into a greased big bowl. Cover with a cloth and place in a warm place for 2 hours. I let mine rise in the oven with the oven light on.
- Set your oven on 450 degrees F.
- When the dough rises and doubles in size, punch down the dough and split into 2 balls. Sprinkle the counter with flour and roll out the dough. Once rolled out, place the dough onto a pizza tray that has been lightly greased with oil and sprinkled with corse corn meal. Add your favourite sauce/pesto, toppings and cook in hot oven for 15-20 minutes. Once cooked let rest for 5 minutes before cutting.
Vegetable Topping
- Chop all the vegetables.
- Spread tomato sauce or pesto onto the rolled out pizza dough. Sprinkle a small amount of grated cheese. Spread the chopped vegetables and add remaining cheese on top.
- Bake in a 450 degrees preheated oven for 15-20 minutes ensuring the dough is cooked through and golden brown at the bottom. I lift use a spatula to lift and check the bottom of the pizza to ensure it's golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes before slicing. Slice, eat and enjoy.
Saluted Mushrooms & Swiss Chard Topping
- Place a pan on medium heat and add the oil.
- When oil is hot, add the chopped onion and cook until onions are soft and translucent.
- Add the mushrooms and cook until the mushrooms are cooked.
- Add the chopped swiss chard and cooked until the chard is wilted.
- Add salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste. Set the pan aside and let the mixture cool.
- Spread the pesto onto a rolled pizza dough. Sprinkle with a small amount of cheese. Spread on the cooked mushroom and swiss chard mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake in a 450 degrees preheated oven for 15-20 minutes ensuring the dough is cooked through and golden brown at the bottom. I lift use a spatula to lift and check the bottom of the pizza to ensure it's golden brown.
- Pizza ia such a versatile food, you can add any of your favourite toppings and enjoy it. I spread grilled vegetables and fresh buffalo mozzarella on this one.
