White and Red Pizza

White and Red Pizza

DOUGH:
1 package (2 ¼ teaspoons) active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
1 cup ice-cold water
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
about 5 ¼ to 5 ½ cups bread flour

I personally like the recipe for my hummus tart for pizza crusts best found from Ecurry (PS this is my one of our favorite recipes)
OR

CRUST:

2 cups all purpose flour

1/3 cup + 2.5 tablespoons olive oil (I have used Rosemary Infused Olive Oil)

1/4 cup + 1.5 tablespoons  very cold club soda (use a little bit more or less to make a soft but non sticky dough)

1 teaspoon salt

Freshly ground black pepper

Dried herbs, (optional) – any kind you like


White Sauce: from Food.com

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 1 cup milk
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh basil, minced
• 1/2 cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese, shredded

Directions:

1. 1
   Heat butter in a small saucepan. Add flour and stir until thoroughly mixed.
2. 2
   Slowly whisk in milk, adding gradually. Stir in remaining ingredients. Will thicken upon standing.
   
   
   Notes: I did a mixture of all purpose and wheat flour. I also put half in the frig and let the other half rise at room temperature covered with a towel. 
   
   
   
   
    Veggies:
   
   
   1 Red Bell Pepper
   1 Onion thinly sliced
   1 Cup of Grape tomatoes cut into quarters
   1 Cup of peppadews sliced *(the pepadews make this pizza. They aren't so common here but they are delicious. I know most whole foods carry them)
   
   
   
   Mix all together in a bowl
   
   
   
   
   
   
   
   -Preheat oven to 400 or 500 depending upon which crust you are using. 
   -Roll out the cruse the desired thickness (if using hummus tart crust pre bake crust then assemble) 
   -Add sauce
   -mix all veggies in a bowl and the spread evenly over the pizza
   -add cheese til your hearts content. 
   
   
   If using the hummus tart bake for an additional 10 minutes
   If using the tradition dough preheat over to 500. Bake for 10-12 minutes. 
   
   
   
   
   
   Please enjoy :) 
   
   

Wholewheat Sunflower Bread

Please make this. Thank you!

Whole Wheat Sunflower Bread:

4 cups whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tps fast yeast (I used 1 tsp but could have used the whole 4oz packet. I will do that next time) {The water the yeast is disolved in shouldn't exceed 110F.}
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1 1/4 cups warm water

1. Grease and lightly flour bread pan
2. In a large bowl, mix together the flour, yeast, salt and sunflower seeds. Make a well in the center and gradually stir in 1 1/4 cups warm water. Using wooden spoon, mix vigorously to form a soft, sticky dough. The dough should be quite sticky so don't be temped to add any extra flour.
3. Cover the bowl with a damp dish bowl and leave the dough to rise in a warm place for 45-50 min or until doubled bulk.
4. Preheat over to 400F/200C. Turn out the dough on a floured work surface and knead for 10 minutes- the dough will still be quite sticky.
5. Form the dough into a rectangle and place it in the prepared loaf tin. Sprinkle the top with sunflower seeds. Cover with a damp dish bowl and leave to rise for another 15 minutes.
6. Bake for 40-45 minutes until golden. Leave in dish for 5 minutes, then turn out and cool on a wire rack.


Notes: Use a whole 4oz packet of the yeast. I found the dough to be more dry and added about 2 cups of water total. I would follow the recipe and then add more if you feel its needed. 

Day ONE

If you haven't seen the documentary fat sick and nearly dead I'd suggest you watch it. I think its pretty remarkable. Around my area it seems like everyone is juicing. People at work, people at church, etc, etc. I got my grandmother old Champion Juicer over the summer and have been juicing everyday since (Well almost). 

See there it is it all its glory with a HUGE pile of apples! Although I'd like to think she was about to make a juice, I'm pretty sure it was an apple crumb pie which would throw any focused juicer off the path!


Tim is going out of town this week so me and another girl in the office decided to do a juice fast. I am very excited! Today is day one. I, however am not giving up coffee...Don't judge! 


Here is the website with great recipes, a support team, and they even have a test you can take to see which reboot you should do. I'm just juicing for 7 days so here is to day one! :)
