Thin Crust whole wheat Pizza dough!




  1. 2/3 c warm water


  2. 2 tbl honey


  3. 2 packets fast acting dry yeast


  4. 2 1/2 c whole wheat flour


  5. 4 tbl ground flax seeds


  6. 1 tsp salt


  7. 1 tbl cornmeal


  8. non-stick cooking spray


This make 2 thin crust's


Mix water, honey and dry yeast let sit for 5 to 10 min while you prepare flour. In seprate bowl mix flax seed, 2 cups of flour and salt. Then add the flour mix to the yeast mix using a spoon till it forms a ball. Then use hands and knead on a floured surface ( using remaining flour) for about 2 min. Spray a bowl with cooking spray and place the dough in oven loosely coverd with a cup of hot water. Let rise for 20 to 30 min. Seperate into 2 equal halfs and roll using dusted rolling pin thin sprinkle cornmeal on dough and flip dough on to pizza pan with cornmeal facing side down. Strech dough on to pan. I dough gets holes pinch them back together. Top with your favorite topping and bake.


Bake at 375 for 10 -15 min


I like to use fat free cheese like the weight watchers cheese. I also us the heart healthy traditional prego for the sauce or barbacue or a light ranch. Also some of our family favorite toppings are turkey pepperoni( though my husband thinks its the real pepperoni) Canadian bacon and pineapple of course and my favorite chicken, artichokes, mushrooms ,bell peppers and sundried tomatoes. This dough makes about 8 slices on each pizza and the serving size for the dough its self is 2 slices at 195 calories a slice 4 grams of fat and 6 grams of fiber and 3 grams of protien which make that 3 point per dough serving. Or if you use fat free cheese and any of the topping combos I have listed 2 points a slice give or take a point depending on how heavy you top them!


Hope you enjoy this is one of my kids favorite!
