INGREDIENTS

• 2 cups regular whole wheat flour
• 2 cloves garlic (pressed)
• 2 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 cup water
• 1/4 cup olive oil

INSTRUCTIONS

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees
• Add all the ingredients in a bowl and knead by hand.
• Grease a baking sheet. You can press the dough out however you want on the sheet -- I roll mine out on the counter and move it. Sometimes it's a circle, sometimes not. Sometimes we use big cutters to make fun shapes. I try to roll the edges up a little to make a crust too.
• Bake for 5-15 minutes, depending on how thick your crust is. You want it to firm up so you can put your toppings on. In my experience, DON'T overbake the crust before adding toppings. You want it be firm enough to hold everything you are about to load onto it, but not totally crispy.
• Take out, put your toppings on, and bake it again to melt them together.

Adjustments I made: I cut this recipe in half, as it was only for Brandon and me. I used garlic powder instead of pressed garlic, but other than that, I followed the recipe exactly. Note: If you're thinking you could just chop up garlic cloves, you are wrong. When you roll out the dough, it becomes pretty apparent exactly where the chunks of garlic are, and they will rip holes in your dough. Not that I tried that or anything...

Adjustments I would like to make: Next time, I will probably use the whole recipe and make a couple personal pizzas for the boys.

Overall Satisfaction: Perfect! The crust was great, and most importantly, fast! No yeast required, so it allowed me to whip up a pizza in record time, using whole wheat flour. Easy, fast, and delicious.

Would I Make it Again?: Definitely.
