Low Fat------The Healthiest, Easiest, BEST pizza dough recipe ever.

I got this recipe from the cooking show Eat, Shrink & Be Merry. This recipe is so easy to make, won't stick to the pan, and is so delicious and nutritious. It may seem like you have to go out and get a bunch of ingredients but you don't. I had everything on hand exept for two ingredients which cost me only $0.39. All you have to do is follow these simple instructions and you have NO FAIL pizza dough everytime.

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
2 tbsp ground flax seeds
1 x envelopes quick-rising yeast
1/2 tsp salt
2/3 cup very warm water
2 tsp olive oil
2 tsp liquid honey
1 tbsp cornmeal
olive oil (for preparing pan)

(sauce and any toppings you desire)

In a medium bowl, combine both flours, flax, yeast and salt. Mix well.

Measure warm water in measuring cup, then stir in olive oil and honey. Pour mixture over dry ingredients and mix using a wooden spoon to form a ball. Turn dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for about 1-2 minutes.

Spray or lightly coat a medium bowl with olive oil and place dough inside. Cover with plastic wrap. Let rise in warm place for about 20 minutes.

Meanwhile, lightly coat a 12inch pizza pan with olive oil and dust with cornmeal. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Once dough has risen, turn out onto a lightly floured surface and, using a rolling pin, roll dough out and fit onto the pizza pan making a small edge for crust.

Top with sauce and toppings and bake for about 12-15 minutes.

Enjoy!
