I found this recipe for Whole Wheat and Honey Pizza Dough and decided right then and there I needed to try it. Wee-one, Hubs and I love pizza so why not, right?! I found the recipe on www.allrecipes.com and noticed it was rated 4 1/2 star. I usually only try recipes from there if they are 4 1/2 star and above (5 being the highest). I figured this one had to be pretty good. And what was even better was the fact that it was EASY. It only has 6 ingredients and I don't need to monkey with it a whole lot (kneading it, letting it rise, punching it down, etc.)
I decided to just make a plain ol' cheese pizza with this crust. Wee-one is kinda picky when it comes to pizza toppings so less is more at our house. The last time I made homemade pizza he was not a fan so I wasn't so sure how this recipe was going to go over.
Well all is all it was pretty good. Wee-one ate the crust and probably ate the equivalent of 1/2 a piece (adult sized piece). Hubs and I enjoyed it. It's a very heavy crust so it's VERY filling. Of course I'm sure the pizza would have benefited from more toppings but gotta make what the Wee-one will eat :)! Oh the things we do for our children...LOL! I also made green beans with our pizza. Of course Wee-one wouldn't touch those and come to think of it Hubs didn't eat his either...ha! I ate mine though :)!
Here is the recipe for the crust in case you wan to try it.
Whole Wheat and Honey Pizza Dough
1 (.25 oz.) pkg. active dry yeast
1 c. warm water
2 c. whole wheat flour
1/4 c. wheat germ
1 tsp. salt
1 Tbsp. honey
Preheat over to 350. In a small bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Let stand until creamy, about 10 minutes.
In a large bowl combine flout, wheat germ and salt. Make a well in the middle and add honey and yeast mixture. Stir well to combine. Cover and set in a warm place to rise for a few minutes.
Roll on a floured pizza pan and poke a few holes in it with a fork. Bake in preheated over for 5 to 10 minutes, or until desired crispness is achieved.
After I baked mine for 8 minutes I took it out, put my pizza sauce and cheese on it and popped it back in the oven for about 20 more minutes. Put on any toppings you and your family like. Again this pizza dough is very filling but OH SO GOOD!

I also made some treats for Wee-one to take to daycare today. They were just simple rice krispie treats, tinted orange and shaped into a "pumpkin" shape. I used tootsie rolls as the "stems" and made pumpkin faces on the treats with black gel. They turned out cute. I'll have to post a picture of them later this weekend. The kids all LOVED them, including Wee-one. Hey he's got my sweet-tooth...what can I say. Hubs and I also got to sample the pumpkins and yes they were delicious.
Trying out another new recipe tonight. Hope it's a hit. It's got turkey and rice in it so I'm hoping Wee-one enjoys it. We shall see. I'll post the results tomorrow afternoon. Happy Friday everyone!
