Our last food lab for my Food & Nutrition students was homemade pizza. Pizza happens to be my favourite food - coincidence? I think not! Oh, the joys of being a teacher! My students were beyond excited about this lab because non of them had made homemade dough before. This is a very basic dough that requires no rising time. Even after smelling pizza all day on Thursday and Friday I was still craving to make it myself at home, so the hubby and I made it for dinner tonight. His side: MEAT, My side: VEGGIES & HOT PEPPERS!
3/4 c warm water (NOT cold, NOT hot!)
1 package active dry yeast
1 tsp sugar
3/4 c whole wheat flour
3/4 c white flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 tbsp yellow cornmeal
1 tbsp olive oil
*cornmeal to sprinkle
Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Lightly oil a pizza pan. In a small bowl mix warm water, yeast and sugar. Let sit for 5 minutes. Stir once. In a large bowl, stir together flour, salt and cornmeal. Add yeast mixture and olive oil and knead into a smooth dough, about 10 minutes. Sprinkle a work surface with cornmeal and roll out dough to fit on pizza pan. Crimp edges, spread on a can of pizza sauce and add your favourite toppings. Paint olive oil and garlic powder over crust. Bake 10-15 minutes.

Hey there Jill! I am currently trying your yet-to-be-published recipe for whole wheat pizza dough and will be eating it for dinner tomorrow night. Thanks for the great recipe ideas, so inspiring.
