Pizza Dough

• 1 cup warm water
• ½ tsp baking yeast
• 1 tsp honey
• ¾ cup whole wheat flour
• 1¾ cups unbleached white flour
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp salt

Pizza Toppings

• ¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• ½ cup grated mozzarella cheese

• ½ red bell pepper diced
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil leaves
• ¼ tsp salt
• ⅛ tsp freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

Make the pizza dough

1. In a medium bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Let sit 2 to 3 minutes, until the yeast is dissolved. Stir in the honey and whole wheat flour.
2. In a separate bowl, stir together the white flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the whole wheat mixture, stirring to form a rough dough.
3. On a clean, lightly floured work surface, knead the dough for 1 to 2 minutes, until smooth.
4. Cover the dough and let it rise while you prepare the pizza toppings.

Prepare the pizza toppings

1. In a small bowl, combine the cheeses. In another bowl, combine the tomatoes, bell peppers, basil, salt, pepper, and olive oil.

Make the pizzas

1. Divide the dough to make 3 equal balls. On a clean, lightly floured work surface, roll each ball into a circle that is 10 inches in diameter.
2. Heat a 12-inch skillet or griddle over medium high heat until it is hot.
3. Transfer the rolled pizza crust to the skillet or griddle and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Turn the dough.
4. Spread one third of the tomato mixture on top of the cooked side of the dough to make an even layer. Top with ¼ cup of the cheese mixture.
5. Cover the pan and continue to cook the pizza until the toppings are hot and the bottom of the crust is golden brown, about 5 to 8 minutes.
6. Remove the pizza to a cutting board and cut into wedges to serve. Repeat this process to make 2 more pizzas.
