Here is how you make Wholewheat pizza base:

Makes 4 small pizzas - depending how thick you like the base.Mix yeast with sugar and 50ml of warm water and stir. Let sit for 10 minutes.While your'e waiting put flour and salt in a bowl and add olive oil - spread evenly amongst the flour by running it between your fingers.Once the yeast has risen, add it to the flour (form a well) and mix with your hands and knead until you have a smooth dough. Cover and let it sit for an hour.In the meantime prepare the piazzaiola.Chop the onion and garlic, fry in the olive oil. Add the tin of tomatoes and all spices. Let it simmer for half an hour to reduce the liquid, then take a blender to it and let it cool down.Preheat oven to 240C (full whack really)Take a 1/4 of the dough and spread it out onto the pizza pan with your fingers. Let it sit for 1-0-15 minutes to rise again.If you want a really thin base use a rolling pin.Spread the piazzaiola - I use the back of a spoon as seen in takeaway pizza restaurants.Put on your toppings, stick to 2-3 and don't put on too much.Then put on the cheese (mozarella is suggested)Put into pre-heated over for 20 minutes. If you find the cheese burns put the pizza in the oven for 5 minutes before adding the cheese.Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user XTALTOS.
