List of Ingredients
Deep Dish Vegetable Pizza
This scrumptious pizza is very filling. Two slices are plenty for dinner
along with a salad.
Whole Wheat Pizza Dough:
1 tsp. granulated sugar
8fl oz. warm water
1 pkt active dry yeast or 1 Tbs./15 ml
8 oz. plain, strong flour
8 oz. whole wheat floor
1 tsp. salt
2 Tbs. vegetable oil
In large mixing bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water. Sprinkle yeast over
water and let stand for 10 minutes or until foamy. Meanwhile, combine flours
and salt.
Stir oil into foamy yeast mixture. Stir in about half the flour mixture. Add
more flour, mixing until dough can be gathered into a slightly sticky ball
(you may need a little more or less than 1 lb/450 g of flour).
On lightly floured surface, knead dough for about 5 minutes or until smooth
and elastic, adding more flour as necessary to prevent dough from sticking
to work surface. Cut dough in half, cover with greasproof paper and let rest
for 10 minutes.
On lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll each piece of dough
into a 12 inch/30 cm circle, about 1/4 inch/5 mm thick.
Transfer rounds to 2 lightly oiled pizza pans or baking sheets. Carefully,
using fingers, stretch dough into large circles.
Let dough rise for about 15 minutes before adding toppings. For a thicker
crust, let dough rise for 30 minutes. Add toppings (see below recipe) just
before baking. Makes 12 inch/30 cm pizza rounds.

8fl oz. tomato sauce or chopped tomatoes
1 Tbs. garlic, finely chopped
1 tsp. oil
3 onions, sliced
8 oz. mushrooms, sliced
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1 lb. broccoli, 1 inch/2.5cm pieces
1 lb. grated mozzarella cheese
