-------- ------------ --------------------------------
***Crust***
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 package active dry yeast
1 cup warm water -- 120F to 130F
2 teaspoons cornmeal
***Topping***
1 cup pizza sauce
3 cups lowfat mozzarella cheese -- shredded
1 cup red bell pepper -- sweet, chopped
1 cup green bell pepper -- chopped
1/4 cup fresh basil -- optional, snipped
TO MAKE THE CRUST: In a large bowl, stir together 1 cup of the all-purpose flour,
1/4 cup of the whole-wheat flour and the yeast. Add the warm water. Beat with an
electric mixer on low speed for 30 seconds, scraping the sides of the bowl
constantly. Then beat on high speed for 3 minutes. Using a spoon, stir in the
remaining 3/4 cup of whole-wheat flour. Then stir in as much of the remaining 1 cup
of all-purpose flour as you can.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead in enough of the
remaining all-purpose flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and
elastic. (This kneading step will take a total of 6 to 8 minutes.) Divide the dough
in half. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425º F. Lightly spray two 12" round pizza pans with
no-stick spray. Sprinkle each pan with 1 teaspoon of the cornmeal. On a lightly
floured surface, roll each portion of the dough into a 13" circle. Transfer the
dough onto the pans. Build up the edges lightly. (Do not let rise.)
Bake about 12 minutes or until lightly browned.
TO MAKE THE TOPPING: Spread the pizza sauce on top of the hot crusts. Sprinkle with
the red and green peppers, mushrooms and basil. Then top with the cheese. Bake for
10 to 15 minutes more or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
