Ingredients
- 1 c. warm water not hot
- 1 envelope active dry yeast
- 1 tsp honey
- 1 tbsp safflower oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 c. whole wheat flour plus about 1/2 c. more to form the dough
- 1 lb. lean ground beef
- 1 onion chopped
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2 c. tomato puree or sauce
- 1 green pepper sliced
- 1/2 lb. mushrooms sliced
- 1/2 tsp Basil
- 1/8 tsp crushed red pepper flakes if you like it spicy-hot
- Salt to taste
- 8 oz. part-skim mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- In a large saucepan, begin cooking ground beef, onion and garlic.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine warm water, yeast, honey, oil and salt for the crust. Let stand for 5 minutes.
- After the beef is cooked, drain grease and add the remaining topping ingredients (except cheese) and simmer while the crust is being prepared.
- Add flour to the yeast mixture and beat dough until it is smooth and elastic. Add about 1/2 c. more flour or enough to make a stiff dough. Turn dough onto a floured surface and knead until smooth. Stretch dough onto a lightly oiled or nonstick-sprayed cookie sheet or a large, rectangular, shallow pan. Form edges on outer sides of crust.
- Spread topping (except cheese) over dough and bake at 450° for 15 minutes, or until bottom of crust is crisp.
- Sprinkle cheese over the top and heat until the cheese has just melted. Serve piping hot.
