Ingredients
- 3 cups All purpose flour
- 2½ ~ 3 cups Wholewheat flour (or simply use a total of 5½~6cups of all purpose )
- 1 tbsp Yeast Instant
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tbsp Salt
- 2 tbsps Olive Oil
- 2 tbsps Pizza Dough flavor (optional)
- 2 cups Water Lukewarm
For the Toppings:
- 1 Onion Large , thinly sliced
- 1 Eggplant Small , thinly sliced
- 1 Tomatoes cupCherry
- 2 ~ 3 cups Mozzarella cheese Grated
- 1 cup Pizza Sauce
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of the stand mixer, combine 5½ cups of flour(s), yeast, sugar, salt, olive oil, pizza dough flavor (is using) and the water.
- Mix and knead until a smooth and elastic dough forms, about 7~9 minutes.
- Place the dough in a lightly greased bowl, cover and let it rise for 1~2 hours, depending on your schedule.
- In the meantime, get the toppings ready.
- Caramelize the Onions: Heat 1tbsp oil in a nonstick pan and add the onions and salt; Cook on medium flame, stirring frequently, until nicely caramelized. Season with salt & pepper. Keep ready.
- Cook the eggplant: In another large nonstick pan, shallow fry the eggplant slices until golden brown on both sides. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the pan and keep ready.
- Preheat oven to 450°F.
- Gently deflate the dough and divide it into 4 pieces, for medium crust pizzas or 3 pieces for thicker pieces. Roll each piece, on a floured surface, into a 12" circle. If the dough doesn't stretch that easily, then let the dough rest to relax it and make it more cooperative.
- Place the rolled pizzas on baking sheets or on a pizza stone. Cover and set aside for 15~20 minutes.
- Brush the crust with little olive oil; spread pizza sauce over the surface and top with grated cheese and your favorite toppings. For the caramelized onions pizza, pizza sauce is usually not added, but it's your choice.
- For the eggplant pizza, sprinkle the cheese on the base, arrange the eggplant slices and cherry tomatoes on top.
- Bake the pizzas for 12~16 minutes, until they're golden, the toppings are hot and bubbly and the cheese is melted. Remove from the oven and transfer to a cooling rack. Cool for about 5~10 minutes, slice and serve.
