Guilt Free Pizza Dough

A few people have asked for this recipe so here goes.

1 cup skim milk
2/3 cup water
2 tbsp dried herbs (I use 1 dried whole rosemary 1 granulated garlic, or use Westminster Whimsy Sundried Tomato Dip Mix)
1 tbsp kosher salt
1 tbsp sugar (you need this to help the dough rise)
2 tbsp olive oil
2 1/4 tsp instant yeast ( or 1 packet active dry, proof it first)
1/4 cup flax flour
1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 to 2 cups all purpose flour

Mix together the milk, water, herbs, salt, sugar and flax flour. Add 1/2 the whole wheat flour and the yeast and mix well. Mix in the rest of the whole wheat flour. Add enough of the all purpose flour to make a soft but not quite sticky dough. (I use the dough hook on my kitchen-aid mixer on low for mixing and most of the kneading)

Knead the dough for at least 10 minutes or until supple and stretchy. Form dough into a ball and place in an oiled bowl, cover and let rise until doubled 1 - 2 hours.

Cut dough in half and roll out each piece on a floured surface. Roll edges and pinch to make a raised crust if desired. Brush with olive oil and top as desired. Bake in a 475 degree oven for 10 - 12 minutes until cheese is bubbly and crust is browned.

Makes 2 - 12" pizzas
Careful with this one if you take insulin, there are a lot fewer carbs to jack your sugar and my dad bottomed out the first night I made it. His nurse LOVES this recipe though.

I make this once a week, it's WAY cheaper than delivery pizza and MUCH healthier. Most people won't know it's whole wheat unless you tell them.
