Method
Dough Preparation
Activate Yeast
In a small bowl, combine warm filtered water (1 cup) with active dry yeast (1 tbs). Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, add organic whole wheat flour (2 cups) and salt (1 tsp). Stir until combined.
Combine Ingredients
Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the activated yeast mixture and olive oil (2 tbs). Mix until a dough begins to form.
Knead Dough
Turn the dough out onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a cloth, and let rise for 1 hour.
Assembling and Baking
Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for baking.
Prepare Toppings
While the dough is rising, chop your locally sourced vegetables (2 cups) and set them aside. Prepare organic tomato sauce (1 cup) and shredded organic mozzarella cheese (1 cup).
Shape the Dough
After the dough has risen, punch it down and turn it out onto a floured surface. Roll or stretch it out into your desired pizza shape.
Add Sauce and Toppings
Spread the organic tomato sauce evenly over the dough, then sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and top with chopped vegetables and fresh basil.
Bake the Pizza
Carefully transfer the pizza onto a baking sheet or pizza stone. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serve
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before slicing. Enjoy your sustainable pizza!
