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

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 :)
