Ingredients
Crust
1/2 tsp fast rising yeast
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1/3 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 tsp italian seasoning
1/8 tsp salt
2/3 cup water
2 tsp olive oil
Parchment paper, for rolling
Toppings
1/2 cup pizza sauce or smooth marinara
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, and cheddar cheese, each
1/4 cup crumbed blue cheese, and feta cheese, each
1/4 cup shaved Parmesan cheese
4 garlic cloves, minced
Instructions
Preheat oven with a pizza stone to 450 F.
Combine flour through salt. Set aside
Heat water to 120-130 F. Pour the water and olive oil over the flour mixture. Stir well to combine.
Transfer to a flour dusted counter. Knead with your hands until smooth, about 5 minutes. Add flour, 1 TBS at a time, if necessary to keep it from sticking to your hands.
Roll the dough out on a 12×12 inch piece of parchment. It should reach the edges of the parchment, and be about as thick as a tortilla.
Invert the dough onto the hot pizza stone in the oven and peel off the parchment paper. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the dough poofs up and gets crispy.
Remove from oven and top with marinara, cheese, and garlic. Place the pizza back on the pizza stone, and cook for another 4-5 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
