Pizza! It's What for Dinner!

Yes, you can make HEALTHY pizza in 30 minutes!  No more ordering pizza on Friday night to be delivered  45 minutes from now, only to find out the guy is lost and your pizza is now at your door step an hour later....COLD! 

Preheat oven to 425.

This crust if for TWO thick pizzas or THREE thin pizzas:

Ingredients:

3 cups warm water
5 tsp yeast
2 tsp salt
4 TBSP Extra Light Olive Oil
1 1/2 TBSP Honey
5 to 6 cups fresh milled flour...grain of your choice (hard white or red if this is your first go)

Put your warm (130 degrees) water in a larger bowl.  Add yeast and stir until dissolved.  Add salt, oil, and honey and stir well.  If you KNOW your yeast is good, add your flour and stir until you have a nice ball of dough.  If you are not sure about your yeast, let the liquid sit for about 4 minutes to make sure it 'PROOFS'.  This is easily seen by the bubbles that appear on top.  Once you have added your yeast, let your dough sit for five minutes.

During your five minute wait, fix your toppings.  Chop your olives, pine apple, yellow or red peppers, onions...what ever toppings you like.  Brown your ground beef if you will be adding that!  Don't forget to drain your beef well.  After five minutes, spread your pizza dough onto your pizza stones.  If you don't have pizza stones, my favorite Pizza Stones are Pampered Chef.  Always work your dough from the CENTER and PRESS 'out' to the edges. 

Once you have your dough on your stone, apply your sauce. 

Next put on all of your toppings EXCEPT your cheese.  Put your pizzas in the oven for 18 minutes.  If you don't have two ovens, adjust your racks to handle two pizzas and switch them at the ten minute mark.

After 18 minutes, remove your pizzas from the oven and apply your cheese.  Put your pizzas back into the oven, remember which rack they were on, for another 6 minutes.  If all goes well, your pizza is now ready to eat!  You don't have cheese that is over done and your crust is NOT soggy!
