Instructions
For the Whole Wheat Pizza Crust:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the yeast and 2 cups of whole wheat flour.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the very warm water and honey until the honey is dissolved.
- Gradually beat the water-honey mixture and olive oil into the flour-yeast mixture using a mixer at low speed.
- Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes, scraping the bowl occasionally.
- Gradually add enough additional whole wheat flour to make a stiff dough.
- Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, or until smooth and elastic.
- Place the dough in an oiled bowl, turning once to coat, and cover with a clean kitchen towel.
- Let it rise until doubled in size, about one hour.
- Punch down the risen dough and divide it into two equal balls.
- Roll each ball of dough into a 13-inch circle on a lightly floured surface and transfer them onto lightly oiled 12-inch pizza pans.
For the Pizza Topping:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius).
- In a medium bowl, combine the tomato sauce, Bragg Liquid Aminos, dried basil, dried oregano, and garlic powder.
- Spread the sauce mixture evenly over the dough within 1/2 inch of the edge.
- Top the pizzas with sliced mushrooms, chopped onion, and chopped bell peppers.
- Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over each pizza.
- Bake the pizzas in the preheated oven for approximately 30 to 35 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the toppings are cooked.
- Remove the pizzas from the oven and sprinkle Veggie Shreds (veggie cheese) over the top.
- Return the pizzas to the oven for just a few minutes, until the cheese is melted.
- Slice the pizzas and serve hot.
- Enjoy your Homemade Whole Wheat Veggie Pizza!
