Makes 8 Servings

1 package active dry yeast
1 1/4 cups warm water (about 110 degrees F.)
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon each sugar and salt
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
About 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

3 large onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
4 medium-size pear-shaped (Roma-type) tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 package (about 10 oz) frozen artichoke hearts, thawed
1 cup (about 4 oz) crumbled feta cheese
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves or
1 teaspoon dry oregano

In a large bowl, combine yeast and water; let stand for 5 minutes to soften yeast. Add oil, sugar, salt, and whole wheat flour. Beat with a heavy spoon or an electric mixer until flour is moistened.

To knead by hand, stir in 1 1/2 cups of the all purpose flour with a heavy spoon. Scrape dough onto a lightly floured board and knead until smooth and elastic (about 5 minutes), adding more all-purpose flour as needed to prevent sticking.

To knead with a dough hook, mix in 1 cup of the all-purpose flour. Beat at medium speed until dough is smooth and elastic (about 3 minutes); if dough is sticky, add more all-purpose flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.

Place dough in an oiled bowl and turn over to grease top. Cover with plastic wrap; let dough rise in a warm place until doubled (about 1 hour).

While dough is rising, combine onions and broth in a wide frying pan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until onions are soft and golden and all liquid has evaporated (about 30 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool.

Punch dough down, turn out onto a floured board, and roll out to a 15-inch diameter round. Transfer to a lightly greased 14-inch pizza pan; roll edges in to form a rim. Cover dough with onions, then top with tomatoes and artichokes. Sprinkle with cheese and oregano.

Bake pizza in a 425 degree oven until edges of crust are golden (about 25 minutes). To serve, cut into wedges in pan.
