Honey Whole Wheat Thin Pizza Crust (no rise)


Friday night and we wanted pizza, but I wanted it to be healthier and I didn't want to pay a lot.
I settled on a whole wheat crust, Classico spaghetti sauce and part skim mozzarella cheese. Recipe below.

Honey Whole Wheat Pizza Crust

Ingredients

  • 1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup wheat germ ( I don't have wheat germ, so I didn't use it)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon honey

Preheat oven to 375. Simply mix together your yeast and water, then add honey, flour and salt.  Let stand for just a few minutes.
Then I took a large baking sheet, lined with foil and spread some coconut oil on the foil. Then I drizzled olive oil on, I took the lump of pizza dough and coated it with the olive oil and knead it a bit...then I started spreading it to the corners.  This is a thin crust recipe.


Then take a fork and poke holes all over crust.


I spread half a jar of Classico tomato basil spaghetti sauce all over the crust. YUM!


Sprinkle with part skim mozzarella cheese.


For Hubby and I's side I added some pepperoni and Canadian bacon.  Then I sprinkled it with some Italian seasonings. 

Bake in the oven @ 375 for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.


Word of Caution: There will not be leftovers!!! :)
