Emeril's Whole Wheat and Buckwheat Chicago Style Pizza with FlaxSeeds
YIELD 4 servings
INGREDIENTS
| 1 cup | lukewarm water (110 degrees F) |
| 1 teaspoon | honey |
| 1 envelope | dry yeast |
| 2 cups | whole wheat flour |
| ¾ cup | all purpose flour |
| ¼ cup | buckwheat flour |
| 1 ½ teaspoons | salt |
| 1 tablespoon | flaxseed oil |
| 1 tablespoon | olive oil |
| 1 teaspoon | flax seeds |
| Desired toppings for pizzas, such as pepperoni, thinly sliced veggies, etc. | |
| Roasted Red Pepper Pizza Sauce | |
| Grated cheese, for topping pizzas, as desired | |
PREPARATION:
- Stir the water and honey together in a small mixing bowl. Add the yeast and stir to combine. Set aside until foamy, about 5 minutes.
- In another bowl, whisk the flours together. Take out ¾ cup and set aside, for dusting the work surface. Add the salt, flaxseed oil, olive oil and 1 ¼ cups of the flour mixture to the yeast mixture and mix well to thoroughly combine. Add the remaining 1 cup of flour, little by little, and mix well with your hands, working to incorporate the flour. The dough should be slightly sticky to the touch. If necessary, add more flour from the reserved ¾ cup. Transfer dough to a lightly floured work surface and knead dough for at least 5 and up to 7 minutes, adding enough additional flour as necessary to form a smooth and elastic dough that is not sticky. Transfer dough to a lightly oiled 2 or 3-quart bowl and turn to coat with oil. Cover the bowl with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place until doubled in size, usually about 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
- Divide the dough into 5 portions for five 5-inch pizzas and form into balls. On a floured work surface, roll out to a thickness between 1/8-inch and ¼-inch (or work with your hands to shape the dough into the prescribed dimensions.) Transfer dough to 5 oiled 5-inch cake pans or small baking dishes with sides. If necessary, trim the tops of the dough so that the crust height is somewhere between ½-inch and 2-inches high. Cover with a damp towel and let rest for about 15 minutes. Sprinkle the flax seeds evenly among the rested pizza doughs, then fill with desired toppings. Top each with about 2 tablespoons of the Roasted Red Pepper Sauce and cheese, as desired.
- Place the prepared pizzas on a baking sheet and transfer to the oven (or place directly on a heated pizza stone.) Cook until the crust is crisp and golden, 8 to 10 minutes. Rotate the baking sheet and cooking for another 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and serve immediately.
