Blue Crust Veggie Pizza With Goat Cheese

"This a modified recipe where I substituted 1 cup whole wheat flour for blue corn flour. Makes for a really good taste, have not had it rise like I would like it to yet, but that has not prevented repeat appearances in the kitchen. I have played a lot with the vegetable choices, sticking with what's in season. I have used different cheeses, and even done one vegan. The goat cheese was the best and actually used the least amount of cheese with it, which is a bonus for me."

directions

  • Sprinkle yeast into warm water in measuring cup, add sugar, and stir gently for 1 minute. Let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Combine nearly all flour (saving about 1/4 c for adding in later) with 1 tsp salt in mixing bowl. Make a well in center of flour, pour in yeast mixture and 1tbsp oil, mix flour vigorously into well with a wooden spoon until dough just begins to hold together. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface, dust hands with flour and gently knead. While kneading, add remaining flour gradually until dough is not longer sticky. Knead for about 10-15 min more.
  • Shape into a ball and place in a well oiled bowl, turn to cover dough completely in oil. Cover bowl and set aside to rise, about 2 hours. I have never gotten it ready soon enough before to be able to wait this long. Split dough into equal halves after rising. Using heels of hands form into 2 crusts, working dough from center out in a circle.
  • For the sauce, put 1 tbsp oil in med saucepan, saute onions on medium heat, add garlic just before the onions are translucent, and saute for 1 more minute. Add diced tomatoes, stir occasionally until comes to a boil. Reduce heat, add paste, salt, dry spices, crushed pepper and simmer for at least 15 minutes.
  • Spread layer of sauce on dough, I like a lot, you may not, then top with your chopped vegetables. Spread the fresh herbs on top of the veggies. When I am adding goat cheese, I think of it as more of another topping than something that has to cover the entire pizza, so it ends up being about as much as any of the other veg. toppings and just dispersed around the pizza, more for flavor.
