Ingredients

For Pizza Dough:

2 cups whole wheat flour

¾ cup warm water (for yeast)

1 tsp raw sugar (for yeast)

1 pkg traditional Bakers’ yeast

1 tsp salt

1 tsp pepper

2 tbsp parsley

4 tbsp melted creamery butter with extra for coating crust edges

===================================

The Fixin’s:

Diced tomato

Pizza sauce (canned is fine)

Sliced shallots (about 7)

Red, green, yellow & orange sweet bell peppers, diced

Black olives

Green olives

Grated carrot

Old cheddar cheese

Medium cheddar cheese

1 medium sized zucchini squash

pepperoni, about 4 sticks, chopped coarsely

polish sausage, sliced

6 –8 slices crisp bacon, torn to small pieces

4 Velveeta cheese slices, for outer crust rim

coarse salt

Directions

Prepare the yeast in the warm water and sugar

Let work

Make the pizza dough:

Mix all dry ingredients together

Add yeast

Add melted butter

Knead about 5 minutes, gently

Let dough rest 5 minutes

Form the base crust:

Roll the dough to size preferred, or work by hand, or air-toss

Preheat oven to 375*F

The ‘building blocks’:

Liberally coat with pizza sauce, leaving one inch blank on outside edges

Form a ‘lip’ of dough on all sides

Break apart the Velveeta cheese slices

Place on outer edge of dough all the way around

Roll edges in to form a neat rim.

Coat rim with butter on edges to seal

Add remaining ingredients listed in whatever order you prefer, but save cheeses to last

After adding the cheeses as illustrated, sprinkle with coarse salt

Bake until the crust is firm, golden, and the cheese is well melted

Let the pizza rest about 5 to 10 minutes before serving.

ENJOY! :+D
