I baked it at 425 for 15 minutes. Does it make a difference how many toppings are on it? Or do I need to either use less dough or a bigger pan? I'm used to partially baking the crust before adding the toppings, so this version looks appealing.

I didn't have any Italian seasoning so I used 2 heaping tbsp of bread crumbs that were seasoned with Italian seasoning instead of the 3rd cup of flour and it turned out so crispy and delicious. I can't wait to see what recipes you post next!Dakota Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09248013470394686450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-63753730528415001382012-03-19T19:37:23.674-04:002012-03-19T19:37:23.674-04:00I did it!

It probably took me a year before I made 100% whole wheat.

I fear my family will not like it since I have been making homemade pizza forever, long before we changed to milling our own wheat. But I'd like to give your recipe a try for pizza crust. Do you use soft or hard wheat?<br /><br />TammyTammyhttp://simpleanddeliberate.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-62000622908857898612011-01-11T22:50:55.746-05:002011-01-11T22:50:55.746-05:00Thanks for another great recipe, Gina.

(I added some crushed red pepper to mine too for extra zip.) I also LOVE the make-it-on-Saturday-morning idea. I did it a bit after lunch and popped in the fridge and went shopping. When I came home I only needed to poke it in the oven. It turned out very well. I will be doing this some more. Thanks again for a great blog.Sherilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10327844539448547906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-18161290545103791952011-01-08T11:01:01.049-05:002011-01-08T11:01:01.049-05:00I thought I'd add to the comments on how I gua...I thought I'd add to the comments on how I guarentee my yeast to rise. I add the sugar (about a table spoon) in the cup of warm water, with the yeast and mix it. I then cover the cup and let the yeast grow until it reaches the top, and add it to the flour. This just seems to give it the jump start I need! :).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02281922300918884444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-5315969557489148112011-01-07T21:31:47.970-05:002011-01-07T21:31:47.970-05:00I love the dating stories.

I use a round pan with holes in it and grease it lightly. And I turn my oven up to 450 to bake it.<br /><br />We love spreading pesto on the dough instead of tomato sauce, then a light sprinkle of cheese with some sauteed greens and garlic. Maybe some olives.Margohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345165456341197559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-53655297040669382962011-01-07T15:11:29.708-05:002011-01-07T15:11:29.708-05:00Annie - I love your idea of pre-making some crusts...Annie - I love your idea of pre-making some crusts! <br /><br />GinaGinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420137490490341730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-16868171026405327452011-01-07T09:52:51.442-05:002011-01-07T09:52:51.442-05:00We have been making pizza at home for about a year...We have been making pizza at home for about a year using Peter Reinharts recipe from Artisan Breads Every Day. He recommends in the fridge overnight for up to 4 days, or you can freeze it after mixing together. I have made the pizza the same day as the dough and it's just as yummy. We also tried an experiment this past December. We assembled pizzas on parchment paper, then wrapped with saran and froze them pre-baked on a cookie sheet. Once they were frozen, I took them off of the cookie sheet and stacked them in the freezer. We did a total of 12! It was nice having all of my pizza prepping utilized for a larger quantity of pizzas. We do have a spare freezer which makes this easier! On the day we wanted to eat pizza, we heat our oven to 500 with a baking stone inside for at least an hour. At the same time as turning the oven on, or even earlier, we'd take our choice of pizza(s) out and let them take the chill off. They didn't take long at all, maybe 10 minutes, and they tasted great! I do admit, they are not as great as a freshly prepared and baked pizza. The rise tended to be a little more thin crusted. But, we certainly enjoyed them and enjoy the financial savings also! Not to mention the time saved from doing it at once.Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03958393253816735277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-81390744230421604002011-01-06T19:29:23.415-05:002011-01-06T19:29:23.415-05:00We love making pizza here, and I love making my ow...We love making pizza here, and I love making my own dough..we loke ours bacon, chiken ranch or a loaded garden veggie!!

As soon as I mix it up (before rising) I put the dough in a greased bag. In the fridge it will last for several days and actually improve in flavor. In the freezer it will last for months. Thaw it in the fridge before using.<br /><br />Monica-<br />I have never used pizza yeast. I'm not even informed enough to know the difference. I just use regular instant yeast. Thanks for your hint on cornmeal. I've seen that in recipes but never have tried it.<br /><br />Carlene-<br />How many pans you use depends on how thick you like your crust. Ed loves a thick crust so I usually use one batch in a jelly roll pan OR split into two round pizza pans.<br /><br />LizBeth - <br />I have been wanting to try duram flour.

Then I went to white wheat instead of red wheat for a milder flavor. Recently I purchased durum to mill for things with Italian flavors. Now we are so accustomed to wholegrain crust that the stuff from the pizza chains is a disappointment . . . . . . .We have lots of ham left from Christmas, so I'm going to dice some to go on the pizza with a little pineapple this weekend. The dog gets some of the edges. He likes it as well as his biscuits!! . . . . . . . We often replace the tomato-base sauce with ranch dressing. Just jazz it up with some Parmesan cheese and extra herbs and garlic. Makes a tasty topping. <br /><br />PS Ordered Steve Solomon's gardening book.

But I'm curious what you think about using pizza dough yeast vs. regular baking yeast. Have you tried the pizza yeast and do you notice a difference? Also I find it much easier to life the pizza slices out of the pan if I sprinkle the pan with corn meal before laying down the dough. But maybe that's just me!Monica https://www.blogger.com/profile/09434370272889356134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4916485057164205644.post-9163593969477286492011-01-06T10:02:45.563-05:002011-01-06T10:02:45.563-05:00Yum.

Since then, we buy Trader Joe's dough. <br /><br />Do you ever freeze the dough? At what point would you freeze it? I see people make dough and freeze it but they never include that in their instructions. <br /><br />I can't wait until you get to a great loaf of bread.
