V's Pepper Blue Pizza

Ingredients

• 1/4 ounce yeast
• 1 cup warm water
• 1 1/2 cups white flour
• 1 cup wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic salt
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• cornmeal
• olive oil
• 1 cup cal valls organic tomato puree
• 1 cup Peppadew pepper (I prefer mild)
• 2 cups grated fontal cheese
• 1 cup crumbled crater lake blue cheese
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced molinari pepperoni

Directions

1. 1

   Combine yeast and water in a non-metallic bowl and stir until dissolved.

2. 2

   In a separate bowl combine the flours and spices.

3. 3

   When yeast starts to bubble, add the dry ingredients and mix well.

4. 4

   Place dough in a non-metallic bowl greased with olive oil, roll the dough until all of it is greased, cover with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in size – about 1 hour.

5. 5

   Sprinkle a thin layer of cornmeal onto your pizza pan.

6. 6

   Roll dough out on a floured board to fit your pizza pan (I use 14 or 16 inch pan depending on how thick I want my crust).

7. 7

   Preheat oven to 450 degrees – bake dough in the oven for 10 minutes or until the center of the crust looks firm. (I do this only because my oven does not get as hot as I would like it to for pizza. If you have a pizza oven, then there is no need to pre-bake the crust.).

8. 8

   Remove dough from oven and apply toppings below.

9. 9

   Apply layer of tomato puree onto the pizza crust (I usually use about ½ can).

10. 10

    Sprinkle the fontal cheese on top of the sauce.

11. 11

    Apply a generous amount of peppadew peppers over the fontal cheese (at least ½ jar) I leave the peppers whole, but you can cut in half if you prefer.

12. 12

    Apply the sliced pepperoni.

13. 13

    Apply the crumbled blue cheese.

14. 14

    Brush a bit of olive oil on the rim of the pizza.

15. 15

    Return to the 450 degree oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the cheese is melted.
