Wheat Pizza

 My wheat Pizza
I always think  of making wheat pizza but somehow end up using plain flour! This time around I remembered to use up my wheat flour & voila! it came out just fine. I didn't find it much different from the other pizza anyway. I rolled out the dough & while transferring to my baking pan it got stretched & so instead of a 'round' shape it came out looking more like a rectangle. Now for the recipe:

Wheat Pizza: (Serves 5)
3 cups of Wheat flour (or 1/2 cup of plain flour & 1/2 cup of wheat flour or use 3 cups plain flour)
1 & 1/2 tsp Yeast
1/2 cups of warm water (to dissolve yeast)
1 cup of water
1 tsp Sugar
1 tsp SaltOlive oil
1) Heat the water in a saucepan & dissolve yeast & sugar in half cup of water. Set aside for 5-10mins
2) In a large bowl sift together the flour & salt & make a well in the centre. Once yeast proves, pour in the    centre of the bowl & mix in the flour.
3) Add the remaining 1 cup of water & form the dough. Knead it lightly & form a soft ball. Dough should be elastic & not rigid.
4) Coat another bowl with some olive oil & on the dough & the sides of the bowl.
5) Cover the bowl with a cling wrap & place a towel over the bowl & Let the dough rest in a warm place for an hour or till it doubles in size. (I usually place this inside my oven & of course the oven will be switched off)
6) Preheat oven to 225C
7)Once the dough has risen, punch down the air & knead it lightly till it is soft & form balls out of it & let it rest for 10 mins
8) Roll out the dough into circle & indent the dough surface with a fork so that when it is baked it wont rise like a bread.
9) Bake for 10 - 15mins (depending on the oven).
10) Apply the tomato sauce on the base & add on the desired toppings & grill for 10-12 mins or till the cheese melts & crust turns golden brown.
Take out of the oven & let it cool for a few mins & then serve with tomato ketchup.
