Whole Wheat & Buckwheat Pizza
Healthy guilt-free pizza with base made with healthy flour option.
Ingredients
- 3/4 Cup Whole Wheat
- 1/4 Cup Buckwheat
- 1.5 Tsp Active yeast
- 1/4 Cup Water - lukewarm
- 1.5 Tsp Sugar
- 2 Tbsp Olive oil
- 1/4 Tsp Salt
- 1/2 Cup Water to knead the dough
Pizza Toppings
- Pizza sauce
- Mozzarella and aged cheddar cheese can use processed cheese too
- Cubed onions, jalapeños, capers, capsicum, sweet corn, red paprika, thyme/basil, oregano, sun dried tomatoes. or anything else of choice.
Instructions
- Activate the yeast by mixing it with lukewarm water and sugar. Let it rest for 10 mins until it becomes frothy.
- Seive and mix the two flours together in a wide bowl and make a well in between. Add the activated yeast, olive oil, salt. Add more water to knead but in intervals and as required. Bring it all together with the help of a spatula.
- Take it on a lightly floured surface and start to knead until it begins to come together. Stretch and knead until it is a smooth dough. Takes about 10-12 minutes
- Tuck the dough in the greased bowl, cover and let it rest to proof in a dark warm place. I usually put it in my oven (switched off mode) for at least 1.5 hours.
- Once the dough has risen, take it on a flat surface and use hands to stretch in gently into a flatbread. Using rolling pin would kill the air bubbles. Poke the base gently a few times with a fork.
- Add the pizza sauce, cheese, and desired toppings. Let it sit covered again for 15 mins or until the oven is pre heated.
- Bake it for 15-20 mins at 180 C Fan assisted or until the cheese looks done and the base is crisp. Enjoy!
