The pizza is best served right after it comes off the skillet. If it’s going to be a few minutes until you serve the pizza then place pizza on a cooling rack that’s set on a baking sheet (this prevents the crust from getting soft). Place in a 200ºF oven until ready to serve. And if you’re in the mood for a whole wheat crust with yeast, click here for my favorite recipe.

Ingredients

Units

For the Dough:

  • 1 cup sprouted white whole wheat flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon light honey (I used clover)
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons brown ale (I used Newcastle)
  • 5 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, divided

For the Toppings:

  • 4 medium plum tomatoes, cored, peeled, and chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Pecorino Romano cheese
  • 1/2 cup fresh basil, chopped

Instructions

  1. Place the flour, baking powder, honey, and salt in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse a few times to combine. With the processor running, slowly add the beer and 1 tablespoon oil until the dough forms into a ball, about 30 seconds. The dough should not be dry. If it is, add a teaspoon or two more of olive oil. Pour dough out of bowl and form into a ball. Wrap with parchment paper or plastic wrap and let sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  2. Place the tomatoes in a bowl near the stove. Toss together the salt, italian seasoning, mozzarella, pecorino and basil together in a medium bowl.
  3. Unwrap the dough and divide the dough in half. Place one piece of dough on a floured surface and using a rolling pin, roll dough into a 9-inch round. Heat a large skillet over medium heat for 2 minutes. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil to pan and swirl to coat. Place dough round on skillet and cook until bottom is golden brown, pricking the dough with a fork to prevent bubbles, about 3-4 minutes. Flip dough and sprinkle with half of tomatoes, and half of cheese mixture. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook for 3 minutes, until cheeses melt. Remove the lid and continue to cook until bottom is golden brown. Transfer pizza to cutting board. Wipe skillet clean and repeat with remaining dough. Serve immediately.
