Healthy Highways<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe trick to restaurant quality pizza at home is a high temperature oven, a pizza stone, and a pizza peal.<\/p>\n
The Whole Wheat Pizza Dough<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n| Ingredients<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
\n| 1<\/td>\n | Tbsp.<\/td>\n | Active dry yeast (1 packet)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
\n| 1<\/td>\n | Cup<\/td>\n | Water, warmed to 115\u00b0 F.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
\n| 1<\/td>\n | Tsp<\/td>\n | Salt<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
\n| 1<\/td>\n | Tsp<\/td>\n | Honey<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
\n| 1<\/td>\n | Tbsp<\/td>\n | Olive oil<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
\n| 2 \u00bd to 3<\/td>\n | Cups<\/td>\n | Whole wheat flour<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
\n| \u00bd<\/td>\n | Tbsp<\/td>\n | Cornmeal<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n |
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n| Procedure Steps<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| 1.<\/td>\n | In a large bowl, dissolve the yeast into the warm water and allow to sit for several minutes, then add the salt and honey and stir well and allow to sit for about 5 minutes allowing the yeast to activate.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| 2.<\/td>\n | Add the oil to the liquid, and then add two cups of the whole wheat flour and beat with a wooden spoon by hand until the dough becomes too stiff to turn.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| 3.<\/td>\n | Transfer the dough to a surface dusted with more whole wheat flour and knead in the remaining flour until smooth and elastic, or about 5 to 8 minutes.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| 4.<\/td>\n | Place dough in a lightly oil large bowl and coat the entire surface of the dough. Then cover with a kitchen towel or cloth, and allow to rise in a draft free area or warm proofing oven (130\u00b0 oven) for 2 hours, or until doubled in volume.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| 5.<\/td>\n | Punch down the dough and allow the dough to rest for a few minutes. Divide the dough into two equal portions, and then shape<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| 6.<\/td>\n | For two large pizzas, roll each half into a 12 to 14-inch pizza circle. If only making one pizza you can wrap the other half of dough in plastic and keep refrigerated until ready for use.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| 7.<\/td>\n | As you roll the dough it should be about \u00bc thick and turn it over several times to make it easier to shape.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n
\nBuilding and baking the pizza <\/strong> Note: Pre-heat oven to 425\u00b0 F.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n| 1.<\/td>\n | Evenly sprinkle some of the cornmeal onto the pizza peal. The cornmeal acts like tiny ball bearings that allow the dough to easily slide onto and off of the peal and the stone. Place the shaped pizza dough onto your pizza peal and start with adding your tomato sauce then toppings and cheese.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| 2.<\/td>\n | Make sure that your pizza stone is pre-heated in the hot oven, and then slice the pizza off the peal and onto the not stone. Allow to bake until the cheese melts and the crust is browned, or about 10 to 15 minutes.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n | \n| 3.<\/td>\n | When done you can slide the pizza peal under the pizza and transfer to a serving platter or pizza pan. Allow the pizza to cool for several minutes, and then slice into 8 pieces.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n The tomato sauce consisted of 2 cups of fresh fire roasted tomato sauce with some Italian seasonings and some toasted minced garlic added.<\/p>\n Our toppings are fresh spinach leaves, artichoke hearts, black olive slices, plum tomato slices, toasted garlic cloves, and roasted red bell peppers. We also added a small amount of shredded mozzarella cheese.<\/p>\n ![\"Vegetarian](\"http:\/\/cajunchefryan.rymocs.com\/images\/ETL_VeggiePizza_02.jpg\" "\\"Vegetarian")

Utilizing a basic whole wheat dough recipe, this vegetarian pizza was full of flavor and healthy too. Packed with lots of fresh vegetables and an oil-free and salt-free tomato sauce. The thin whole wheat crust is cracker-like and crunchy. And while the pizza dough does contain 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of olive oil, the amount is not enough to break the bank on the Eat To Live diet plan. The dough makes enough for two pizzas, and when you considering that you can feed four people with this batch of dough, the amount of salt and oil consumed is minimal.<\/p>\n
