Healthy Pizza

Once in a while, the absence of the of grease most store bought pizzas have is tempting. I'd been wanting to make pizza at home for a while, so one day last winter, I decided to make it for my family. I'm a big TJ fan, so the main ingredients are from there. Also, I used whole wheat, because while it is obviously healthier, I prefer its taste to regular while dough. My dad, who's usually very picky was pretty impressed and surprised that it tasted so good!

Note: This is a great recipe to make the dough from scratch.

Ingredients:

- 1 pack Trader Joe's 100% Whole Wheat Pizza Dough
- Trader Joe's Pizza Sauce

Topping suggestions
- Thinly sliced onions, bell peppers, olives
- Sliced sundried tomatoes, olives, jalapenos
- Shredded mozzerella cheese
- Goat cheese crumbles
- Garlic

Directions:

1. Let dough rest and rise at room temperature for 30 minutes
2. Add a drop or two of olive oil to lightly grease the pizza pan
3. Sprinkly some semolina (rava) for that extra crisp on the bottom
4. Place the entire dough in the middle of the pan and spread out as thin as possible with your fingertips.
5. Pop it into a 400 degree oven for 7-8 minutes.
6. Take it out and add as much sauce as you like. (I used few spoons of it)
7. Add all your favorite toppings (except for cheese) one by one, and lay it out nicely. (If adding the garlic, grate it evenly all over)
8. Sprinkle the shredded cheese as lavishly as you'd like over the other vegetables. I used a little bit less, because I added the goat cheese as well.
8. Bake it for another 15-20 minutes, checking on it towards the latter half. The aroma will hit you soon :)
9. Let cool for 5 minutes, slice and enjoy!
