Pizza

Last night was pizza night at my house. Who knew that with a little help from a standing mixer pizza making from scratch would be so simple.

Morgan's Pizza Dough
  • 1 cup water 110F
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 2 teaspoon active dry yeast
  • 1/2 cup wheat flour
  • 2 cup unbleached all purpose flour, divided
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • corn meal
  • Pizza Sauce
  • toppings, as desired (cheese, vegetables, pepperoni, etc.)


Combine yeast, sugar, and water in a small bowl and let sit 10 minutes or until frothy.

Measure 1/2 cup white flour and 1/2 cup wheat flour into the mixing bowl of your standing mixer. Add olive oil, salt, and yeast mixture. Using paddle attachment, stir until smooth. Let dough rest for 5 minutes.

Preheat oven and pizza stone to 450F. Remove paddle attachment from mixer and attach dough hook. Knead for 6 minutes on speed 2.

Lightly sprinkle cornmeal on a baking sheet. Place dough on top of corn meal and roll out to desired size. Cover with pizza sauce and toppings. When ready sprinkle cornmeal onto pizza stone and slide pizza onto the stone. Bake at 450F 15-20 minutes or until cheese has melted and crust is golden.

Enjoy!
