(Better Than A Tortilla) Whole Wheat Pizza Crust




 
I happen to love pizza. I've made a lot of pizzas on top of tortillas for a low cal/healthy option, but sometimes I really miss pizza crust.

Today, I decided to make my own. I like the taste of whole wheat, so I used whole wheat flour, but you can also use all purpose, or a mix of the two. This is what it looked like after coming out of the oven,
Then, I threw my toppings on, and baked it!
Perfect personal size pizza with a healthy crust, that was much thicker than a flimsy tortilla.
I paired mine with a side salad for a great lunch. I also really enjoyed putting spices in the flour, such as parsley flakes and other seasonings. See what you can come up with!

Ingredients:
    1/4 cup whole wheat flour
    1/2 tsp baking powder
    1/8 tsp salt
    -add in spices such as parsley flakes, garlic powder, onion powder, italian seasoning, etc!
    2 tbsp unsweetened almond milk
    2 tbsp water
    1/2 tbsp unsweetened applesauce or pumpkin
    1/4 tsp butter extract

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 425. Combine dry ingredients and stir. Then, add wet ingredients and stir. Don't worry, your dough is going to be a little runny. Spray a baking sheet well with nonstick spray and spread out your crust to desired thick/thinness. The thinner it is, the crispier the crust will be.
Bake for 17-20 minutes and pull out. Gather up the toppings you want and add them on to the crust. Place back in the oven for 5-7 minutes. Enjoy your pizza!
