Whole Wheat Greek Pizza Food

WHOLE-WHEAT GREEK PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Turn a large baking sheet upside down; rub with oil. Place tomatoes, garlic, and 1 tablespoon oil in a food processor; season with salt and pepper. Pulse 3 to 4 times until ingredients are incorporated but chunky.
• On a lightly floured work surface, use a rolling pin and your hands to roll and stretch dough until large enough to cover the surface of the baking sheet. (If dough becomes too elastic, let it rest a few minutes.) Transfer to prepared baking sheet.
• Spread tomato sauce evenly over dough, leaving a 1-inch border all around. Top with cheese and pine nuts; season with salt and pepper.
• Bake until crust is golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Toss arugula with vinegar and 1 tablespoon oil; season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle arugula and olives over pizza.

GREEK PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). If using a pizza stone, place in oven to preheat.
• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet; cook and stir onion and garlic until tender, about 5 minutes. Add spinach and continue to cook and stir until all liquid has evaporated, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and season with basil, lemon juice, oregano, and pepper. Allow mixture to cool slightly.
• Unroll pizza dough on preheated pizza stone or a large baking sheet and brush with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Spread spinach mixture over dough, leaving a small border at the edge of the pizza crust. Top with 1 cup mozzarella cheese.
• Press tomato slices into seasoned bread crumbs until coated; arrange tomatoes over pizza. Spread remaining 1 cup mozzarella cheese and feta cheese over tomatoes.
• Bake in preheated oven until pizza crust is golden brown and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.

QUICK WHOLE WHEAT PIZZA DOUGH

• Using a second large bowl, coat bowl w/ oilve oil. Transfer dough to new bowl. Brush top of dough w/ oil. Cover bowl w/ plastic wrap.
• Allow to stand in a warm place until doubled, approx 1 hour. (I use my warming drawer, set to "proof" temperature.)
• Turn risen dough out onto floured surface. With floured hands, knead about 15 seconds. Divide into 2 (one-pound) balls.
• IF FREEZING: place two balls, OR four shells on parchment paper, in freezer till firm. Place in freezer bags up to 3 months. Shells may be topped & baked from frozen!
