Ingredients
- 2 2/3 cups of Flour whole wheat
- 2 tbsp of Sugar stevia
- 3/4 cup of Non-fat dry milk powder
- 1 packet of Quick Rise or Pizza yeast
- 1 tsp of Salt
- 1 ⅔ cup of warm Water
- 2 tbsp of Vegetable oil
- ½ lb of Italian sausage
- ½ lb of Ground beef
- 1 jar 12 oz of Pizza sauce
- 8 oz of part-skim shredded Mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 475°F. Grease a metal pan and sprinkle with cornmeal, or line it with parchment paper.
- Simmer sauce with optional veggies & seasonings.
- Whisk the flour, milk powder, sugar, yeast, and salt together in a large bowl. Microwave the water for about 1 minute and add the oil. Pour the oil and water mixture into the flour mixture and stir with a spatula until a batter is formed. If a few lumps are remaining, it’s OK.
- Spread the pizza dough into the prepared sheet pan, ensuring the dough is spread evenly and to the edges of the pan. If you are having trouble with the dough spreading to the edges of the pan, allow the dough to rest for at least 5 minutes before spreading it with your fingertips.
- Bake the un-topped crust for 6 – 8 minutes.
- Brown the Italian sausage and ground beef together until cooked completely. Drain if necessary and set aside.
- Top the crust with the pizza sauce, then the cooked sausage and beef mixture, and add the shredded cheese.
- Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8 – 10 minutes, or until cheese is melted and beginning to brown.
- Slice into rectangles and serve.
- ENJOY!
