Really Good Pizza Dough

 

• 2 cups all purpose flour
• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 1/3 cup warm water
• 1 packet yeast
• 1.5 tsp sea salt

In a mixing bowl, combine the warm water and yeast. Stir in the salt and flour and mix on medium high speed on your KitchenAid for 5 minutes. While the mixer is going, drizzle in the olive oil. When the dough is soft and elastic, take out of the bowl, rub with olive oil and then place back in the bowl, cover with a dish towel and let rise for one hour. After the dough has doubled in size, cut in half to make two large pizza doughs or make mini doughs. You could also do what I like to do and freeze the dough in a plastic baggie for another time! When you are ready for your pizza, roll out the dough, cover with your toppings and bake at 425 for 10-15 minutes.

You could also make this dough without an electric mixer…..just knead by hand for about 8 minutes and then follow above steps!

I found this pizza dough recipe off of the internet and it is very good and easy, not to mention pretty healthy when compared to other doughs.  Even Derek and Braedon approve!  Since I found this recipe, we have been making our own pizzas at home, which is so much more fun then ordering out.  I highly suggest you try it!

 

Have I mentioned how much Braedon loves his new walker?  Well he does and he is very good at maneuvering himself around the house.  He is now my little shadow as he constantly follows me around, which is very cute.  It is also nice because he can’t really get into any trouble while he is in it because he can’t reach anything.  He has found a way to get my running shoes off the shelf though and I don’t know what it is about them but he seems to really like them.  Maybe he’s going to be a runner….
