Author:
Serves: 2 servings per pizza, makes 3-4 pizzas
Ingredients
Whole Wheat Pizza Dough
  • 1 teaspoon honey
  • 1½ cups warm water
  • 1 Tablespoon active dry yeast (1 packet)
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 3½ cups whole wheat flour
Toppings
  • 1-2 cups wild mushrooms (shiitake, oyster, cremini, portobello) (per pizza)
  • goat cheese
  • ¾ to 1 cup caramelized onions (per pizza)
  • Salt
  • Olive oil
Instructions
Pizza Dough
  1. In a large bowl, dissolve honey in warm water. Sprinkle yeast over top and allow to sit about 10 minutes, until foamy.
  2. Add olive oil and salt and stir until somewhat combined. Add flour slowly. Stir until combined and begins to form a ball.
  3. Dump dough onto a floured surface and kneed for 5 minutes or so; until it starts to smooth out and you can form a nice ball.
  4. Place dough ball into a slightly oiled large bowl and cover with a tea cloth. Set aside in a warm area and allow to rise for 1 hour, or until about double in size.
  5. Preheat broiler.
  6. While dough is rising, prepare the caramelized onions. I cooked mine for about 30 minutes which made them uber gooey and sweet.
  7. Clean mushrooms (do NOT wash with water!) by dusting off any dirt or debris.
  8. Once dough has doubled in size, punch it to remove some of the air. Divide into 3-4 balls.
  9. Heat an oiled skillet over medium-high heat.
  10. On a floured surface, roll out the dough into rounds that will fit into your skillet.
  11. Drape dough into pan (it's ok if it creeps up the edges). You may want to reduce your heat to medium so it doesn't burn.
  12. After 3 minutes or so, you should notice some bubbles. Puncture big ones.
  13. Add onions in an even layer, then add dollops of goat cheese and mushrooms. Drizzle with olive oil.
  14. Place under broiler for a few minutes, until bubbly and the crust begins to brown.
  15. Carefully remove from oven and season with a light dusting of salt.
  16. Repeat with other two dough balls or wrap dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for later use.
Notes
Optional: serve topped with arugula and another drizzle of olive oil
