Рецепт Homemade Pizza
Pizza Party! Such an easy party to throw, whether it be for your kid’s birthday party, a party with your friends, a fun family night or super bowl. I’m not talking about dialing up the local pizza joint for a quick delivery either, I’m talking about the fresh and wonderful taste of homemade pizza. This month’s Recipe Redux theme is about sharing our favorite homemade and healthy pizza recipe. Healthy pizza? How can that be? Homemade pizza can be healthy especially when you have control of the ingredients. I make pizza often, so I was excited when I read about the challenge this month, and just in time to get some good ideas for the Super Bowl party. Pizza night is an event for us. Everyone has some input; giving suggestions for their favorite toppings. Homemade pizza crust may seem difficult and time consuming to prepare, but it really isn’t once you get used to making it. And it’s well worth the effort and time. I usually make a double batch and freeze for pizza nights when I don’t have the time to make the dough. Although we are always putting new combinations together, I have two favorites which are: totally veggie – my attempt to use up as many veggies from my fridge as I can; and the one I’m sharing today, Mediterranean Pizza. It is topped with artichoke hearts, Kalamata olives, spinach and feta cheese. Once you get used to eating homemade pizza you’ll never order takeout again!
Homemade Pizza Mediterranean Style!
INGREDIENTS
- CRUST (for two pizzas – you can freeze one for another time)
- 1 package of yeast
- ½ tablespoon honey
- 1 ¼ cups warm water
- 3 cups of whole wheat flour
- ¼ cup flax seed meal
- ½ tablespoon salt
- 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
- SAUCE (this can be done while dough is rising)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups Fresh crushed (in a blender) tomatoes (or canned)
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 small onion (chopped)
- ½ tablespoon Oregano or to taste
- 1 tablespoon Basil or to taste
- ¼ Red wine
- TOPPIINGS
- Fresh baby spinach

INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE CRUST:
Dissolve yeast and honey in warm water, let stand until foamy (about 5 minutes)
Add flour, flax seed meal and salt to bowl of food processor
Once water is foamy, and 1 tablespoon of water and gradually add the mixture through the feed tube of the food processor until dough forms a ball
Continue to process for one more minute
Remove from bowl brush with remaining olive oil place glass bowl, cover with a towel
Let dough sit in a warm place for 45 minutes – it should double in size
After yeast has risen, punch down and let it rest for 5 minutes
Remove from bowl and turn out to a flat surface dusted with flour
Divide dough in half and begin to shape one of the dough balls into a circle by stretching it. If you like thin crust use a rolling to continue to flatten the crust.
Once the crust is thin enough to your liking, place on pan and bake in oven at 400 for 5 to 8 minutes.
FOR THE SAUCE (this can be made while dough is rising):
Add olive oil to a pan and heat over medium heat once heated, add the garlic and onions and cook until onions become translucent
Stir in red wine and cook on low for about 5-10 minutes until the wine has cooked down
Add tomatoes, oregano and basil - simmer on low uncovered for 30 minutes – if sauce is too thin, thicken it with a tablespoon of tomato paste
ASSEMBLE THE PIE:
Remove dough from oven top with sauce (about a cup will do )
Then add the artichoke hearts, spinach, roasted peppers olives and Feta cheese
