WHOLE-MULTIGRAIN PIZZA DOUGH

Steps:

• Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a small pot. Add the bulgur and quinoa and simmer for 10 minutes. Transfer the grains to a fine-mesh strainer and hold under cold water to stop the cooking. Let the grains drain in the strainer for 15 minutes, then spread them out on a thick layer of paper towels to absorb any extra moisture. Meanwhile, coarsely grind the flaxseeds in a spice grinder, just to break them open.
• Stir together the warm water, agave and yeast in a measuring cup or small bowl. Let sit until a small layer of foam develops at the top, 3 to 5 minutes. (If this doesn't happen, discard and try again with new yeast.)
• Whisk the flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a medium bowl; add the foamy yeast mixture and olive oil and mix together with a stiff rubber spatula. When the dough starts to come together, mix in the cooked grains, ground flaxseeds and sunflower seeds; form the dough into a uniform ball in the center of the bowl. Be sure to scrape and use any dough stuck to the sides. The dough will be very sticky at this stage. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and keep in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size, about 2 hours.
• Lightly dust a baking sheet with flour. Sprinkle a generous amount of flour on a clean, dry work surface. Scrape the dough onto the floured surface and knead for a couple of minutes, working in just enough flour to make the dough less sticky but still moist to the touch. Flour your hands periodically to prevent sticking. Form the dough into one single ball or divide it into smaller balls. Place the dough ball(s) on the prepared baking sheet. Cover loosely with plastic wrap or a dish towel and let the dough rest for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, the dough can be shaped and cooked as desired.

MULTIGRAIN PIZZA CRUST RECIPE

Steps:

• Place 3/4 C of the flour and all of the cornmeal, wheat bran, oats, yeast, and salt in a large bowl, and stir to mix well.
• Place the water or milk and the honey in a small saucepan, and heat until very warm (125 F to 130 F.) Add the water mixture to the flour mixture and stir for 1 minute.
• Stir in enough of the remaining flour, 2 Tablespoons at a time, to form a soft dough.
• Sprinkle 2 Tablespoons of the remaining flour over a flat surface and turn the dough onto the surface.
• Knead the dough for 5 minutes, gradually adding just enough of the remaining flour to form a smooth, satiny ball.
• (Be careful not to make the dough too stiff, or it will be hard to roll out.) Coat a large bowl with nonstick cooking spray and place the ball of dough in the bowl.
• Cover the bowl with a clean kitchen towel and let rise in a warm place for about 35 minutes, or until doubled in size.
• When the dough has risen, punch it down, shape it into a ball, and turn it onto a floured surface.
• The dough is now ready for shaping, topping, and baking.
• To make pizza dough in bread machine: Place all of the dough ingredients except for 2 Tablespoons of the bread flour in the machine's bread pan.
• (Do not heat the water or milk.) Turn the machine on to the"rise","dough", or"manual" setting so that the machine will mix, knead, and let the dough rise once.
• Check the dough about 5 minutes after the machine has started.
• If the dough seems too sticky, add more of the remaining flour, a Tablespoon at a time.
• When the dough is ready, remove it from the machine and proceed to shape, top, and bake it as directed in the recipe.

GLUTEN-FREE MULTIGRAIN PIZZA WITH CRISPY PROSCUITTO

Steps:

• Whisk together all the dry ingredients (minus the yeast) and set aside.
• In separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients. Add the yeast and 1/2 cup of the flour mixture. Whisk together then set aside and allow the yeast to bloom for about 30 minutes. Once the yeast has gotten nice and fluffy, add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix together until and smooth batter forms. Let rise for 30 - 45 minutes.
• With 15 minutes left in the rise, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Scoop the dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet and spread it out using wet hands until it's about 1/4" thick.
• Bake in the center of the oven for 18 - 20 minutes until golden brown and a little crispy.
• Assemble the pizza by first starting with a thin layer of grated cheese (about 3/4 cup). Add the onions, then layer on the sopressata. Add the remaining cheese and pop the pizza back in the oven for another 10 minutes until the cheese has melted and is starting to brown.
• Remove the pizza from the oven and let cool while you prepare the proscuitto. Grease another baking sheet with non-stick spray and line the pieces of proscuitto along the sheet so that they are not overlapping. Place the baking sheet in the oven and cook for 5 - 7 minutes, until the proscuitto is nice and crispy. Remove the pan and let it cool until you can handle it.
• Now that the pizza has cooled slightly, sprinkle the arugula over the top and then crumble the proscuitto on the very top.
• Sprinkle with salt, pepper and crushed red pepper and enjoy!

• Mix all dry ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer. Add olive oil to the warm water then add to dry ingredients. Scrape down sides of bowl and beat on medium to high speed for 3 to 4 minutes. Add additional warm water 1 teaspoon at a time if needed to achieve appropriate, thick but not too firm, texture.
• Scrape down sides, cover with a teatowel and place in a warm spot for 30 minutes or up until two hours to rise and develop flavour.
• While you're preheating the oven to 425 spread the dough evenly on your trays with an offset spatula, dipping the spatula in warm water as necessary to avoid sticking. Build a slight edge to contain toppings.
• Bake in preheated oven for 16 minutes. Paint olive oil on outside edge to protect it. Put on toppings and cook for approximately 20 minutes more or until cheese is golden and bubbling.
