Sicilian Pizza Bread

This recipe is enough to make two 12” pizzas 

Ingredients: 

1/2 tsp. honey (2.5 ml)

1 1/4 cup warm water (300 ml)

1 tsp. active dry yeast (1/8 oz or 3.5g)

1/2 Tsp salt (8g)

3 cups whole wheat flour (450g)

1 Tsp. olive oil (15 ml)

Dissolve honey on 1 ¼ cups warm water and stir the yeast.

Stir the salt into the flour. Make a well in the center and pour the oil and the yeast mixture into the well. Stir it with the spoon or with your hand until the dough incorporates all the flour. Knead well about 10 minutes. 

Use ¼ cup of water instead of flour. The dough will be soft and sticky. Form the dough into a ball and place smooth side up into a bowl.

Let the dough rise for 1 hour. Divide dough into two balls. Let them rest for 2 minutes.

Stretch the dough on a pan using more water or oil. Pre-bake the crust for 7 minutes at 410F.

Put your favorite sauce and toppings. Finish baking it for additional 12-15 minutes at 400F.

You can also use this crust as a flat bread, just bake it a little bit more to make it crunchy.

Enjoy!
