Whole Wheat Crust Pizza...dust off that bread machine...

One of my favourite kitchen tools is my bread machine. I wore out my Black and Decker a fews years back and bought the Cuisinart, haven't tried the jam option yet and the Artisan cycle on my one try was not in my opinion worth the time - maybe next time. Really I should call it my dough machine as that is the job it usually performs for me. Tonight is Whole Wheat Crust Pizza, you can set the machine with a delay at anytime in the day, but most machines will need about 1-1/2 hours to complete the dough cycle.



Whole Wheat Pizza Dough (bread machine - 2 lb. dough setting)

• 1-1/3c. water
• 2 tsp. sugar
• 2 tsp. salt
• 2 Tbsp. evoo
• 2 c. whole wheat flour
• 2 c. white flour (cnd.) bread flour (usa)
• 2 1/2 tsp. yeast

When dough completes cycle. roll onto 2 lg. pizza pans (preferably stone) and poke a large number of vent holes with a fork. Spray with evoo sprayer and spread sauce, a little cheese to hold your toppings in place, add toppings more cheese and a little more sauce. Bake at 425 for about 15 minutes.

Pizza Sauce

• 1- 15oz can of stewed tomatoes
• 1 Tbsp. oregano dried
• 1 tsp. basil dried
• 1/8 tsp. garlic powder
• 1/8 tsp. sugar
• s & p

Bring to simmer over med heat for 7-10 minutes. Use immersible blender to bring to spreading consistency desired ( I like a few chunks in mine).

Pizza without the guilt:) For added fun let the kids make their own pizzas - we do this often and the kids have a great time making heart shape or monster pizzas.
