Did you know that October is National Pizza Month? I don?t know anyone that doesn?t love pizza. And if you don?t, you probably shouldn?t say it out loud. It is such a comfort food for many. It reminds me of good times with family watching football games in the fall or celebrating birthdays. It?s very simple to serve for a large amount of people.

But the truth is, it is not very healthy for you. I have found a way to enjoy pizza without all the guilt and grease. The dough is not completely whole wheat so that it doesn?t taste too grainy. I also used bread flour so the crust could be soft yet crispy and the dough elastic when rolling out. If it is still warm outside where you live, I recommend grilling this pizza!

My choice of toppings were grilled asparagus and mushrooms, tomato slices, asadero cheese and fresh basil.

Ingredients

• 3/4 cups whole wheat flour
• 1/2 cup bread flour
• 1/2 cup soy flour
• 1 tablespoon honey (agave can be substituted)
• 1 tablespoon flaxseed (ground)
• 1 packet highly active dry yeast
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup warm water

Instructions

1. Mix water, yeast and honey (or agave) in a small bowl. I had to warm the water up for a few seconds in the microwave in order for it to reach 120*F. Let sit for 10-12 minutes while you mix flours.
2. Mix all of the flours, flax seed and salt in a large bowl. Remove 1/4 cup of mix and set aside.
3. Add flour mix to water mix slowly using a rubber spatula. Keep mixing until most of the liquid is absorbed. Form into a ball. Knead for about 2 minutes on lightly floured surface using some of the reserved flour mix.
4. In large bowl you were using, spray it with cooking spray and place dough in it. Cover and let sit for 25 minutes in a warm place. Maybe an oven or microwave that is off.
5. Place pizza stone on grill or oven. Preheat grill to 400*F. Roll out pizza dough on lightly floured surface until thin. Place dough on stone and grill or bake for 5 minutes on each side. This helps hold the toppings very well.
6. Remove, add pizza sauce and choice of toppings. Cook for another 20 minutes. Carefully transfer to pan. Slice and enjoy!
