Whole Wheat Pizza with Veggies and Feta
Uncategorized / / 11 COMMENTS

Growing up, every Friday night was pizza night. I kept that tradition going even when I went off to college. My roommates and I would make pizza together with all different topping combos. My favorite is topping pizza with a variety of veggies! I was excited for this month’s Recipe ReDux theme of Pizza Party! I made this pizza Friday night with my boyfriend. It’s safe to say that is pizza is awesome considering it was devoured.

Whole Wheat Pizza with Veggies and Feta

Makes 1 medium pizza, 8 slices

 

Ingredients:

Whole Wheat Pizza Crust:
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 packet yeast
3/4 tsp salt
1 cup warm water
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp sugar
 
Pizza Toppings:
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp garlic, minced
1 cup part skim mozzarella cheese
2 cups spinach, roughly chopped
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
1/2 cup red onion. sliced
3/4 cup sliced plum tomatoes
1/2 cup feta cheese

 
Directions:

1. Combine yeast, water, and 1 tsp sugar. Set aside and let sit for 5 minutes

2. In a stand mixer combine, 2 cups flour, salt, the rest of the sugar. Make a well in center and add the olive oil and yeast mixture.

3. Using the paddle on the stand mixer, mix ingredients until just combined. Then, switch to the dough hook and work for the dough for another 4-5 minutes. Add the remaining flour slowly until combined and until the dough starts to pull away from the side of the bowl.

4. Transfer the dough to a bowl lightly greased with cooking spray. Cover lightly with plastic wrap. Let the dough rise for about 45 minutes to 1 hour (dough should double in size).

5. Once the dough has risen, punch down the center of the dough. Lightly flour the pizza stone. Roll out the dough evenly. Let it rest for 10 minutes. Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.

6. Brush the dough with olive oil and garlic. Start assembling the toppings with half the mozzarella cheese, spinach, mushrooms, onion, remaining mozzarella cheese, feta cheese, and tomato.

7. Put the pizza in the oven and lower the temperature to 425 degrees F. Bake for about 15 minutes or until crust is golden brown and cheese has melted.

  1. *Looks down on her plum and cinnamon porridge disappointed* this is not pizza!
    YOUR munch on the other hand, looks amazing! Sometimes veggie pizzas can surprise you by how full of flavour they are 🙂 Mmmmm! Pizza Friday tradition sounds like a keeper 😀 Two more days to go 🙂

  2. Completely jealous of your Friday night pizza night tradition! Growing up we had Thursday night Mexican food night. I think I should go for both…I could handle Thursday and Friday night themed dinners:)
    This pizza looks amazing!

  3. My family had the same Friday night pizza tradition! They still have it to this day and order Papa John’s Pizza every Friday. I have to make my own healthy dinner when I visit because they refuse to get on board with my healthy whole wheat pizzas and I refuse to eat that junk, haha.
    I usually buy a pre-made ww crust from Whole Foods but I would like to try my own, so I’m glad I found your recipe. Looks delish!
