Ingredients
Dough
  • 1 cup white whole wheat flour
  • 2¼ tsp quick rise yeast (or 1 packet)
  • 1 ½ tsp sugar
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 2 TBS melted butter or neutral flavored oil
  • ⅔ cup water (120-130°F)
  • ¾ cup all purpose flour, plus some for kneading
Toppings
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 cup asparagus, cut into 1 inch pieces, about 14 small spears
  • 1 medium tomato, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 oz feta cheese crumbles
  • ⅓ cup balsamic vinegar
Instructions
Dough
  1. Mix together white whole wheat flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Pour melted butter and hot water over over the yeast mixture. Stir until well combined.
  2. Mix in all purpose flour until a shaggy dough forms. Transfer to a floured working surface and knead until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add enough extra flour to keep it from sticking to your hands.
  3. Cover and let rise on top of the stove while the oven preheats, about 15 minutes.
Tart
  1. Preheat oven to 425 with a pizza stone.
  2. Press the dough into a rectangle, about 8x12 inches. Use a brush to evenly coat the top with olive oil. Top with tomato slices, asparagus, garlic and feta.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
  4. Meanwhile, heat balsamic vinegar in a small sauce pan over medium heat. Let it simmer about 5 minutes, or until it is reduced to about 2 TBS, give or take.
  5. Drizzle balsamic reduction over the pizza. Cut into 4 squares.
Notes
Make this dish 4 servings by serving it with a side dish. You could also serve this as an appetizer if you cut it into small bite size pieces.
