Margherita Pizza

Difficulty:
★★☆☆☆ (easy)

Yield:
8 slices

Ingredients:

• 1 cup (6 ounces) of water
• 1 packet of active-dry yeast (if using instant yeast, you don’t need to dissolve it during the first step)
• 3 cups (10 ounces) whole wheat or unbleached all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 4 tablespoons brown sugar

Toppings:

• 1 cup artichoke hearts
• 3 cups tomatoes, chopped
• 1/4 cup oregano, destemmed
• 1/4 cup basil, destemmed
• 1/4 cup parsley, destemmed
• 1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
• 3/4-1 cup mozzarella cheese
• Olive Oil
• Parmesan cheese

Directions:

1. Between 30 minutes-1 hour before baking, preheat your oven to 400 degrees. If you plant to use a baking stone, place it in the middle of the oven. Add lukewarm water to yeast and whisk and stir yeast thoroughly into water. Allow the yeast a few minutes to dissolve. Measure flour into a mixing bowl, add salt and use your hand or whisk to combine. Pour water-yeast over flour mixture and use your hands or a wooden spoon to combine. Turn dough onto counter with extra flour and knead until flour is incorporated. Roll onto parchment or pizza stone in whatever method you know best.
2. Brush dough with a little olive oil and add all ingredients except cheese. Bake for 5 minutes and rotate pizza 180-degrees. Bake for an additional 3 minutes and then sprinkle cheese over top. Leave in oven an additional 3 minutes or until the edges of your pizza are golden and crispy.
3. Remove pizza from oven and cool on wire rack for five minutes.
