Who doesn’t love pizza? There’s nothing like homemade pizza with healthier ingredients from scratch!
My favorite way to make pizza is in my cast iron skillets! I have 2 skillets that are perfect for this recipe: a 10-inch and a 12-inch. I evenly divide the dough between the 2 skillets and both skillets fit well in the oven together.
Ingredients:
1 cup freshly milled whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups unbleached white flour
1 tbsp. yeast
1 tbsp. raw sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tbsp. coconut oil or butter
1 cup hot water
- Mix together the flour, yeast, sugar and salt.
- Add water and oil and mix well.
- Knead for 5 minutes, adding more flour if the dough is too sticky.
- Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
- Divide dough into two separate balls.
- Roll out the balls of dough onto a floured surface into a circle shape to fit your skillet.
- Grease the sides and bottom of the skillets to keep the dough from sticking.
- Place the dough into the skillet and press into the bottom and sides of the skillet.
- Poke holes in the dough with a fork.
- Bake at 400° for 10 minutes or until the crust is lightly browned.
Now it’s time to assemble your pizza!
My girls like their pizza with only cheese, but I believe that is boring. 🙂 I made one pizza with just cheese for them, but I chopped up green pepper, onion and broccoli for the other pizza. I typically use either mozzarella or mostly mozzarella with a little cheddar. This last time I was out of mozzarella cheese, and we really liked it with cheddar alone; both ways are delicious!
- If you use vegetables, lightly saute them before putting them on the pizza.
- Place sauce on baked dough
- Place cheese on sauce
- Putting toppings on cheese
- Put more cheese on the toppings. I love cheesy pizza!
- Bake pizza 10 more minutes until cheese is melted and sauce starts to bubble.
*I would also like to say that I have greatly enjoyed this Grain Mill Challenge! There is such a difference between store-bought flour and freshly-milled flour in the nutrition, taste and texture. I have really had fun making my recipes with my own flour thanks to the awesome Wonder Mill!
