Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, honey, and 1 cup of whole wheat flour.
  2. Beat the mixture vigorously for about 30 seconds until it is smooth and the yeast is dissolved.
  3. Let the mixture rise in a warm place for 15 minutes until frothy.
  4. Add the salt, vegetable oil, grated cheddar cheese, black pepper, caraway seeds, garlic powder, and the remaining 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour to the bowl.
  5. Mix well until a dough forms, adding more flour if necessary to prevent sticking.
  6. Let the dough rest for 5 minutes.
  7. Pat out the dough onto a baking sheet to form 1 large pizza, or divide the dough in half to make two medium-sized pizzas.
  8. Spread the tomato sauce over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
  9. Sprinkle with oregano, then top with broccoli pieces, mushroom slices, and shredded mozzarella cheese.
  10. Bake in a preheated 400 degree F oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
