In my on-going effort to use up some of those herbs I planted this spring, and to eat a healthier diet, I decided to experiment with a healthier pizza crust. I ended up trying this pizza crust recipe. I wasn't too sure about whole wheat pizza crust, but I was very pleasantly surprised. Andy liked it a lot too.
I did make a few changes to the recipe. I substituted 2 tsp. of brown sugar for the 1 tsp. of white sugar, used 3 tsp. yeast instead of 2 1/2, and added 4 tsp. of vital wheat gluten. I also used bread flour instead of all purpose flour. I also added a little minced garlic and some fresh oregano and basil to the dough.
This made a nice non-sticky dough that rolled out easily. It made two 14 inch pizzas with a nice tender, slightly chewy crust.
You are funny. After reading this, all I can say is right?! You followed the recipe except for everything. Thanks for the laugh.
ReplyDeleteI followed the recipe, I just rearranged it a little to make it my own!
ReplyDeleteActually now that I take a better look, I guess it does seem like I changed it a lot. It didn't feel like it though.
Sounds yummy to me! I've never grown my own or cooked much with fresh herbs. Since I'm alone, I don't cook much anymore anyway.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the links to the hat patterns. Some I've seen, some I had not. I'm working on coming up with my own pattern now, going to try a ribbed version with a twist.
