Use tortillas for a fast shortcut! Traditional pizza is always delicious, but there's something about a cheese-filled white pizza that really hits the spot. Add on a slathering of garlic oil and plenty of basil and you'll be in pizza heaven!
Ingredients
-
1/4 cup Everything Basil Sauce
- Whole wheat pizza dough (1/3 of recipe below or you can use store-bought)
- 8 ounces Mozzarella cheese, cut into slices
- 1/2 cup Part-skim ricotta cheese
1 ounce shaved Parmesan cheese
Whole wheat pizza dough
- 1/2 tablespoon Active dry yeast
1 3/4 cup lukewarm water
1/2 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon honey (can substitute with sugar)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Directions
Preparation
On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough into a 12-inch round and place on prepared pan.
Using a pastry brush, brush dough with garlic olive oil mixture. Layer slices of mozzarella on top of dough and spoon crumbles of ricotta cheese around.
Cover pizza with 12 basil leaves and parmesan cheese shavings.
Baking
- Bake for about 18-22 minutes, until crust is browning and crispy. Chiffonade remaining 3 basil leaves and sprinkle over the top.
Whole Wheat Pizza Dough
In a large bowl, combine yeast and water. Let sit for 3 minutes. Stir in salt, honey or sugar, and olive oil.
Using a wooden spoon, stir in whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour until just blended. If dough is still wet, add in a bit more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time.
Cover the bowl with a towel and set aside at room temperature for about two hours, so it can rise. Once risen, either use dough or refrigerate if not using right away.
- Leftover dough can be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and stored in fridge for 5 days.
You can also freeze it for up to three months. Just make sure to divide it into individual portions before freezing.
- Feel free to add more toppings to this pizza before baking, including pepperoni, sausage, roasted chicken breast, etc.
