  1. I really enjoyed having a change of crust, and this one was not only good in taste but also in texture. It was not over crispy or deep pan, but just a normal hand tossed type of pizza. I ended up using malt flour instead of the wheat flour, but it seemed to work pretty well anyway. Generally, I'm glad to see some healthier options for pizza crusts out there. This is definitely one of the best! THANK YOU!!
     
  2. Fantastic!!! I absolutely loved this dough. Perfect for one extra large thick crusted pizza. My non whole wheat eating husband even loved it and requested that I make it more often. Thanks for posting!
     
  3. I've used this recipe a couple of times now with good results. It does seem that I always have to add more flour (about half a cup this time) to be able to form it into a good dough. This time I even used slightly less water and only one tbsp olive oil. I'll try using even less next time.
     
  4. First time I have ever made pizza dough and it turned out great.
     
  5. It had a delightfully "yeasty" flavor to the crust, and with being having half white flour, was a bit lighter then the other fully whole wheat crust I have made. The recipe reads funny though, they dint really explain how to use the ingredients properly.

Zaar...Wow, what a place! I'm one of the old timers of Zaar. I can't count the number of wonderful dishes I cooked in the past few years since joining. Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting several Zaar chefs. Talk about your fruits and nuts! lol. I have enjoyed meeting them all. Family: What's to say...I have had the same sweet husband forever (Good thing....I'd hate to have to break a new one in...=) and live close to a couple of grown children. (Maybe you've met Smoke Alarm Jr. ..her brown rolls are sooo good!) Therefore, my family gets together often to enjoy each other's company and cooking. My greatest joy is six "little to tallerthanme" kids running around calling me Grammy. They wear me out! lol For the past thirty years I have been a Special Education teacher for grades 9-12 and love it. Took some time off last year to recovery from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. (Loved the radiation....I keep imagining that we are absolutely napalming the nasty cancer cells tohellandback to keep the little suckers from returning. =) My prognosis is good and now "I'm back in the saddle again". lol. Being a north country "gurl", I am happiest outside...walking, fishing, sitting in front of an outdoor fire or being on water (although in February it's a bit stiff....=0) When indoors I like to read, garden, knit, quilt and paint. During cold Maine weather I like to warm my feet on a very large ( 100 pounds of long legs and huge feet), sweet and furry golden retriever named Kerry (aka KTBRD: Kerry the big red dawg..lol) . In the summer, the dawg and I round up the grandkids, hit the local dairy bar for a Mounds Sundae that is to die for!!!=0) . Then spend a lot of long and lazy summer days at camp . All in all...Boy, Life is good! =)
