Quick Wheat Pizza Crust

 I have used this pizza dough recipe before and we like it at my house. It's easy and it's quick and I have adapted it to use half wheat flour to make it a bit healthier.

 Here it is ready to go in the oven. I had left over chicken from the slow cooker so we used bbq sauce because it just goes so nicely with chicken. Other toppings: Olives, pineapple, Tillamook cheese.

Quick Wheat Pizza Crust

1 (.25 oz) package Pizza Yeast

1 tsp white sugar

1 C warm water

1 1/2 C White flour

1 C Wheat flour

2 T olive oil

1 tsp salt

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Dissolve yeast and sugar in warm water. Let stand 5 minutes. (10 minutes if you aren't using Pizza specific yeast)

2. In mixing bowl, combine flour, salt and oil. Add yeast mixture, beat until smooth. Let rest 5 minutes.

3. Roll dough into a round. Transfer crust to a lightly greased pizza pan dusted with cornmeal. Bake 5 minutes.

4. Add sauce and toppings. Bake 8 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes before serving.

 I also used the same recipe to make bread sticks. 

I brushed it with butter and added garlic salt, parmesan cheese and a cheddar monterray jack mix.

They turned out okay but I want to figure out how to make them lighter and fluffier like the stuff you get at the pizza place. I will have to experiment a bit with this.
