Favorite Ingredient Friday – Whole Wheat Pizza Crust and Pizza Sauce

Whole Wheat Pizza Crust

  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 1/2 cups warm water
  • 1 tablespoon yeast
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Mix all the ingredients together.  This can be done in the bread machine on the dough setting.  Let it rise and put it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours before rolling out.  Top with desired toppings and bake.  This makes 2 pizza crusts.

Pizza Sauce

  • 1 can tomato paste (6 ounces)
  • 6 fluid ounces warm water
  • 3 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
  • Salt to taste

In a small bowl, combine all ingredients in order listed, making sure to break up any clumps of cheese.  Cover the sauce and let sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.  Spread sauce over pizza dough and prepare pizza, as desired.

    I would love to try your sauce. I have a good wwcrust recipe, but I just use spaghetti sauce (from a jar) as my sauce. I’m bookmarking this!

    Thanks for sharing.
