Every time I make pizza dough it starts out looking and smelling perfect, then by the time its finished baking its some how super thin and incredibly crunchy. So I decided to give Matts pizza crust a try.
This was my final dough and it was so easy to work with. Usually it takes me forever to shape the dough into a circular shaped pizza but this was done in a matter of minutes! It all came together so well! I was expecting to have some troubles with it being that it is all Whole Wheat (for whatever reasons whole wheat flour and I do not get along all that well). I cannot emphasize enough just how easy this was.
I started by letting my biga and preferment sit out for 16 hours and then I followed Matts directions exactly. When the time came for refrigeration I only had enough time to put it in the fridge for about 3 hours (which I probably could have left it sitting on the counter for 6 hours) and then I took it out and let it sit on the counter for another 3 hours. Shaping, again was the easiest part. I can’t wait to make this recipe again and get a bit more creative with the toppings. I seriously need to work on that part. I grew up on mushroom and olive pizza…Its so hard to venture away from that
The baby and Jonathan had pepperoni and sausage (yum?)
The weather has been phenomenal here!!
I hope you all are enjoying your weekend and eating some healthy yummy eats.
Avocados have 60% more potassium than Bananas. They contain more Fiber than any other fruit. One-fifth of an avocado contains 50 calories and 20 crucial nutrients. People try to shy away from avocados due to the high fat/calorie content. What people don’t take into consideration is that avocados contain monounsaturated fat (the good kind of fat). Avocados are a great source of omega-3, helps against heart disease. So replace those fatty condiments (mayo :cringe:, sour cream, butter) with whipped avocado! Avocado also contains Lutein, which is a natural antioxidant that helps maintain eye health. Avocados are known as the “nutrient-booster” when eating with other foods avocados help your body better absorb the nutrients from the other foods! COOL! Feeling sad? EAT AN AVOCADO! With the amazing potassium content in this super food fatigue and depression can be stopped. Not only that but this fruit is loaded with vitamin E, which is great for your complexion. Woot woot a natural wrinkle fighter! REMEMBER: You are what you eat.
Okay, this looks really good! I love how the crust is up around the edges. You rarely are able to do that with homemade crusts. Artichokes and/or Kalamata olives would be a delicious addition to the black olive and mushroom side!
YUM kelly Artichokes and Kalamata’s would be sooo good!! I know, I can never get the crust to work with me and its so thin all the way around but this one was so easy to work with and the crust around the edges was so easy to form. You really need to try this recipe!
Wow, looks great! Glad it worked out! You definitely could have just left it out instead of the brief refrigeration.
Matt,
Thanks. I was actually wondering if I could have just left it out seemed a bit pointless to put in for a few hours. Thanks for the recipe!
Mmm your pizza looks great!!
So healthy and delicious!Perfect recipe!
Talita,
