Gypsy Diva's Famous Disappearing Pizza

Last night my husband brought home a couple of his co-workers for dinner. I served them my awesome homemade pizza. I bought enough ingredients to make 3 large pizzas, and made a large salad and I spent half of what we would have paid for 2 large pizzas at Pizza Hut when you figure in the tax, delivery fee, and tip. Mine is a lot healthier, too. I did not get a chance to get a picture, because the guys devoured it as soon as it came out of the oven. It was all gone in less than 10 minutes. Here is the recipe I used so you, too, can enjoy the awesomeness. Just some warning it does takes some prep time. I'm fortunate enough to have plenty of time to do this. You can make the dough and freeze it. Which I've done before. You want to start with the dough, because it will need time to rise. I make the dough, then go workout while I'm waiting for it to rise. Whole wheat pizza dough with flax seed Ingredients: 1.5 cup warm water 2 cup whole wheat flour 1.5 cup white flour 6 Tbsp. ground flaxseed 1.5 tsp salt 1 Tbsp. yeast Mix the water and yeast together and let sit for about 10 minutes. Add the salt and stir. Add the flaxseed and then remaining ingredients a cup at a time. Sometimes I add some garlic powder, oregano, and basil. It gives it a nice flavor. When ingredients are mixed transfer onto a floured surface and knead for about 10 minutes, or if you are fortunate enough to have a Kitchenaid Mixer use the dough hook utensil to form into a ball. Put dough into an oiled bowl, cover with plastic wrap or a wet dish towel, and let rise in a warm place for about an hour. I heat a cup of water in the microwave for about 2 minutes then set the bowl in the microwave to rise. After it has risen, punch dough down and roll it out and place onto a pizza pan, cookie sheet, or stone baking pan. Some people put corn meal on the pan first, but I don't use anything with corn unless its organic. I just spread a little coconut oil on the pan before I put the dough on it. I let it sit for about 30 minutes, punch a few holes in the dough with a fork and bake at 400 degrees for about 10 minutes. I like to cook the dough first before you put the ingredients on. It makes a crispier crust. If you don't punch the holes it will rise up in a big dome, so don't forget to do that. Then I add the tomato sauce, any toppings I want on it, and mozzarella cheese. Bake at 400 degrees for 10-12 minutes. Then watch it disappear as soon as you set it down. Here is how I made my pizza sauce: I don't usually measure the ingredients. I just add the spices till it tastes right. 1 can tomato paste tomato sauce (I saved the sauce from the can of whole tomatoes I used to make salsa. I put it in a Ziploc bag and put it in the freezer for later use. Never throw anything away.) Oregano (dried) Basil (dried) Fresh Garlic Onion Powder Salt Pepper Red Wine Vinegar 2-4 Tablespoons Mix all ingredients in a saucepan and cook over medium heat for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. You want to make sure all the spices release their flavor. Spread over the pizza crust you just took out of the oven. Add your favorite toppings. I used Ground Turkey, Turkey pepperoni, Caramelized onions (I can't stand raw onions, even after you've baked them on a pizza in the oven) Red Bell Peppers, Green Bell Peppers, Jalapenos, Mushrooms, and Kalamata Olives (I had some leftover from a recipe I made last week.) Here is how I cooked the Ground Turkey before I put it on the pizza: Ground Turkey Juice of one lemon White Wine Oregano (dried) Basil (dried) Garlic Powder Onion Powder Salt Pepper Turmeric After I cooked the ground turkey in a skillet, I de-glazed the pan with some white wine someone gave me a hostess gift on Thanksgiving (Pinot Grigio.) then I added the juice of one lemon, and added the rest of the spices to what flavor pleased my palette. I cooked a few minutes letting the spices take hold and then spooned onto the pizzas.
