Ingredients
  

Pizza Dough

  • 1 cup White Whole Wheat Flour
  • 1 ½ teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon Flax Seeds optional
  • l Tablespoon Hemp Seed Hearts optional
  • 1 cup Greek Yogurt plain
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil extra virgin

Pizza Toppings

  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil extra virgin
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • ½ cup Mozzarella Cheese fresh
  • ¼ cup Goat Cheese crumbled
  • 12 ounce jar Artichoke Hearts drained
  • 2 Plum Tomatoes sliced
  • ¼ cup Red Onion thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup Orange Bell Pepper thinly sliced
  • 3 Tablespoons Pine Nuts

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, flax and hemp seeds.
  • Stir in the Greek yogurt and olive oil. Knead the dough until combined.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough into an 11-12" circle.
  • Transfer dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Coat the dough with olive oil and garlic.
  • Bake in the oven for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from the oven. Add the mozzarella cheese and vegetables.
  • Sprinkle on the goat cheese and pine nuts.
  • Bake for an additional 10 minutes.
  • Broil for an additional minute to brown the cheese (optional).

Notes

  • Use a pre-made pizza crust if you are short on time.
  • All-purpose flour can be substituted for white whole wheat flour.
  • If your pizza dough is too dry, add a teaspoon or two of water.
  • If your pizza dough is too sticky, knead in a little flour. 
  • I prefer to use mozzarella pearls, however slices would work too.
  • Feel free to swap any of the ingredients with YOUR favorite Mediterranean toppings: pesto, balsamic glaze, hummus, ricotta, feta, halloumi, oregano, thyme, rosemary, basil, crushed red pepper, arugula, roasted red peppers, sun-dried or cherry tomatoes, Kalamata or black olives, zucchini, and mushrooms.
  • Don't overcrowd the pizza toppings or your crust may become soggy or undercooked.
  • Toast the pine nuts prior to adding them to the pizza for best flavor. (Toss with 1 teaspoon olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until golden brown.)
Enjoy!
