Einkorn Pizza

Enjoy your Valentine's dinner, Maryann and Nick! I love you dearly! 

What you need: 

Einkorn dough (When making Einkorn dough for pizza, I divide the dough into 2/3 for a very large loaf of bread and 1/3 for pizza crust. So follow the directions for Einkorn bread, except for this measurement change, and place the dough in the refrigerator for a few hours or more, until you're ready to make your pizza.)

Pizza sauce

Olive oil

Mozzarella cheese, grated

Cheddar cheese, grated

Parmesan cheese, grated

Pepperoni and/or sausage

Mushrooms, sliced

What you do:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

Place parchment paper on top of baking sheet

Add olive oil to parchment paper and spread out with your hands

Place pizza dough on parchment paper and shape (into about a 12 inch round) with your hands 

Bake in the middle to upper-middle of your oven for 10 minutes

Remove from oven and add:

1) sauce 

2) then layer of mozzarella cheese

3) meat and mushrooms (or whatever toppings you prefer)

4) layer of cheddar cheese

5) sprinkle of Parmesan cheese

Bake for another 10 minutes (I broil for the last minute or so)

Slice and enjoy! 

Tips:

When I make my Einkorn bread, I often do the 1/3-2/3 measurements and only bake the 2/3 into a loaf of bread and freeze the 1/3 in a Ziploc bag for pizza at a later time. When we're going to make the pizza, I place the Ziplock bag with the dough in the refrigerator for about 24 hours to defrost. Super easy!

I buy organic, raw, 100% grassfed grated cheddar cheese. Great time saver to have it already grated! The mozzarella I grate myself, because I haven't found a pre-grated one that doesn't contain extra ingredients. 

Sliced mushrooms are also a time saver.

If we have left over pizza sauce, we set it in a little bowl on the table to dip our pizza crust into. Yum!
