Whole Wheat Thin Pizza Crust- April 10

Thin Crust Whole Wheat Pizza Dough

* 1/3 cup warm water (~120 degrees)
* 1 tbsp honey
* 1 envelope active dry yeast
* 1 & ¼ cups (150g) whole-wheat flour or white whole wheat flour (separated)
* ¼ cup soy flour (28g) (optional)
* 2 tbsp ground flax seeds (14g)
* 1/2 tsp Kosher salt
* 1/2 tbsp cornmeal
* Non-stick cooking spray

Mix the water, honey and yeast, let sit for 10 minutes while you prepare the flours it will get frothy. (Tip: the water should be about 120 degrees. I use tap water and my digital meat thermometer to know how hot it was. Just fill a cup with warm tap water and submerge the thermometer – worked like a charm!)
Mix ground flax seeds, 1 cup of the whole-wheat flour, soy flour (if using) and salt.

Add the flour mixture to the water mixture and mix using a wooden spoon until dough balls start to form. Then use hands to incorporate all the flour and form into a ball. (at this point you may have to ad a bit more water especially if you used soy flour)
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface using the remaining ¼ cup of flour. You may need it all you may not, just keep adding it while kneading if the dough is too sticky.

Knead for about 1-2 minutes.

Spray medium bowl with non-stick cooking spray and place dough inside. Cover with a towel. Place the bowl of dough and a cup of hot tap water in the microwave (do not turn on, it’s just a nice warn place in there to rise). Let rise 20-30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Spay a cookie sheet or pizza pan with non-stick cooking spray and dust with cornmeal.

Once dough has risen, turn out onto a lightly floured surface and, using a rolling pin, roll dough out thin.

Place on your preferred pizza pan. I used a pizza stone wrapped in aluminum foil (don’t ask). I sprayed with non-stick spray and sprinkled with corn meal. (I also experimented with a cookie sheet which yielded good results as well – just roll into an oblong sphere and then form in the cookie sheet)

Top with sauce and toppings and bake on the lowest rack in the oven for about 10-15 minutes. Enjoy!
