Ingredients
Crust
  • 1 + ¼ cup whole wheat flour
  • ¾ cup all purpose flour
  • 4 tsp milled flax seed powder
  • 1 tsp salt or more according to taste
  • 1 tsp white sugar
  • 1 envelope or 2+1/4 tsp fast acting yeast
  • Few red chili flakes (optional)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
Topping
  • First with a layer of pizza sauce
  • Some cheddar cheese
  • Veggies. Here I used onions, bell peppers and olives
  • a thin layer of cheddar cheese on top
Instructions
  1. Take ¾ cup of warm water and add yeast in it. Dissolve and let it sit for 5 mins.
  2. In a bowl, mix together the whole wheat flour, all purpose flour, flax seed powder, salt, sugar and chili flakes. Now add the yeast water mix in it along with olive oil and knead until it all comes together. If you feel it is too dry add water 1 tsp at a time. If it is too wet then add flour and make it into a ball. Knead it nicely for around a minute.
  3. Take a big bowl and coat it with olive oil. Take the dough ball and roll it around the bowl so it gets coated with oil and close the bowl with a plastic wrap. Let the dough sit in a warm draft free area for around an hour or until it doubles in size.
  4. Once it is ready, lightly flour the surface and knead it for 15 seconds. Break it into half. Roll out the dough as desired.
  5. Garnish it with desired toppings and bake in a preheated oven (420F) for 10-12 mins.
Notes
The crust I feel tastes best thin. It is not super soft and smooth like the market kind. It has a little rough texture but if nicely baked to a kind of crispiness and loaded with veggies or meat or topping of your choice, it is a treat for cold weather and a healthy take for pizza nights.
