Ingredients
Method
For the dough
- Stir together the flour, vital wheat gluten, salt, and yeast. Add the oil and 1/2 cup of warm water and stir until a ragged dough forms.
- Knead on a clean surface or in the bowl for 2-3 minutes, adding 1 tablespoon of water at a time if needed.
- Grease the mixing bowl with olive oil, return the dough to the bowl, and cover with a towel Let rise in a warm area for 1-2 hours, or in the fridge for up to 12 hours.
For the pizza
- Preheat the oven to 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Season the onions, mushrooms, and butternut squash with salt and pepper. Saute in a pan (using oil or butter as needed) for 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until soft.
- Shred your cheese if needed. Roll out the dough into a pizza pan and spread the olive oil evenly across it. Sprinkle on the garlic and add the arugula on top of the crust. Top with the cheese and cooked vegetables.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Notes
*The vital wheat gluten is optional, but it adds a desirable thickness chewiness to the whole wheat crust.
