Whole Wheat Pizza with Fresh Veggies

I love making pizza, it is perfect for a day of studying because it has different stages and punching pizza really get the blood flowing after long periods of staring at a screen. Also perfect for a ladies night in, a romantic dinner for two or for just for your parents.

Makes 1 pizza that serves 2, an easy recipe to double or triple J

Ingredients
• 2 tsp dry active yeast
• 1 1/2 cups warm water
• 1 tsp sugar
• 3 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 tsp salt
• A couple tablespoons of some kind of pizza sauce (either canned, pasta sauce or pesto)
• Enough cheese to cover your pizza (if you are using feta you may only need half a cup but you will need a cup of mozerella)
• Sliced vegetables (red onion, tomatoes, red pepper, green pepper, mushrooms, baby spinach, pineapple, olives)

My favourite pizza toping combinations:
The Sweetie Pie- tomato based sauce, mozeralla, red onion, red and green peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms and pinapple
The Savery Pie- tomato based sauce, mozeralla, red onion, red and green peppers, tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach and olives
Pesto Pie- basil pesto and mozerella
Greek Pizza- tomato based sauce, feta cheese, red onion, tomato, red pepper and olives

Directions
1. Pre-heat oven to 350*
2. Mix dry active yeast with sugar and add warm water. Let sit for 10 minutes
3. Use a wooden spoon to stir in 2 cups of whole wheat flour until well mixed, then add last cup of flour and salt (it will become increasingly hard to stir so you may need to take it out of the bowl and kneed it in), kneed for 6-7 minutes until smooth and elastic
4. Place dough in a pre-oiled boil (so that dough does not stick to inside of bowl as it rises) cover with a dry dishcloth and put on top of warm oven so it can rise
5. After dough has doubled in size (1- 1 1/2 hours) beat it down and roll onto greased tray (like many students I do not have a pizza pan or a rolling pin so I use a cookie sheet and a drinking glass)
6. Put back on top of oven for another 30 minutes then smooth on desired sauce, desired cheese and desired vegetables and place in oven
7. Bake for 30- 40 minutes and eat!
