Pizza - Ah!! that word makes a lot of us drool.. In our house, all of us love pizza. I have tried many types of pizza.. Last time I did with whole wheat flour, this time I have included multigrain flour making it even more better. For the multigrain flour, you could use your choice of combination. A combination of corn, rye, oats, fingermillet flour, soy flour, maize flour etc..
Do check out my Whole Wheat Pizza, Pan Pizza, Deep Dish Pizza on my blog..
Ingredients
For the dough:Whole Wheat Flour - 1 cups
Multigrain Flour - 1 1/2 cup
Vital Wheat Gluten - 1 1/2 table spoons
Milk Powder - 3 table spoons (optional)
Instant Yeast - 1 3/4 tea spoons
Warm Water - 1 1/4 - 1 3/4 cups
Honey - 3 tea spoons
Salt - 1 3/4 tea spoons
Olive Oil - 2 table spoons
Italian Seasoning - 1 tea spoon
Garlic - 2 tea spoons (minced fine)
For the Topping – I have used olives, sundried tomatoes, garlic, capers, capsicum and little cheese. But it is your choice
Method
To the 1 1/4 cup warm water, add honey and yeast and mix well
Keep it covered until it is foamy (about 5 minutes)
Mix together whole wheat flour, multigrain flour, vital gluten and milk powder well
Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture
Knead it well until there are no dry flour seen. You can add the 1/4 cup more water (a table spoon at a time)
Keep it covered for 10 minutes
Add salt, garlic and olive oil and the Italian seasoning
Knead it well for about 10 minutes until it is smooth and shiny
Make a smooth ball of the dough
Grease a bowl and place the dough coating all sides to ensure that a crust is not formed
At this point you can place the dough in the fridge and continue the next day or up to 2 days
If keeping in the fridge, bring it to room temperature before starting the next step
Allow the dough to become double in size
Knead it once and allow it to proof again for an hour or until doubled in size
Place the baking tray on the very bottom of the oven and Preheat the oven to 250 degrees C
Divide the dough into 2 pieces
Make 2 balls and place them on a greased tray at least 4 inches apart.
Covered with a greased plastic wrap
Allow it to double in size
By now the oven is heated for an hour with the baking tray in it.
Take a dough ball and stretch it to 12 inch size on a greased tray
Add the garlic oil and spread it evenly
Arrange the basil leaves and top it with cheese
Bake it in the preheated oven for 8 - 12 minutes until it is golden
Remove from the oven and enjoy hot!!!
