ingredients
- 1 tablespoon dry yeast
- 1 tablespoon warm water
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 cup milk
- 1 1⁄2 cups white flour
- 3⁄4 cup whole wheat flour
- 1 tablespoon sugar

directions
- Mix yeast with warm water and let stand for 10 minutes.

- In a large bowl combine both flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and butter. Mix well.
- Add the yeast and milk mixtures to the dry mixture. Knead well, then let rise in the bowl for 30 minutes (or longer) with a clean towel covering it.
- Divide dough into 8-10 balls. Roll a ball out to about 1/8" thick, and about 6" diameter. *Sprinkle flour on your counter top and on your rolling pin to keep dough from sticking to the surfaces.*
- Pizza - spread a spoonfull of sauce leaving the outer inch of dough oncovered. Add about 3 tbsp of pizza toppings (ie 1 tbsp cheese, 1 tbsp ham, 1 tbsp pineable) to the middle. Fold dough in half and pinch edges closed.
- Other fillings - get creative with leftovers - anything that is freezable and bakable will be great!
- Bake at 350° for 20 minutes.
- Let cool 5 minutes before serving, or cool completely then wrap individually in wax paper then freeze. Best if reheated in an oven, but can be heated in the microwave too.
