Parma ham, feta cheese rustic pizza

Pizza is a worldwide phenomenon and everybody loves pizza. My husband love and
one or two times for month I make it. I don’t like to order ‘cos the dough is pretty easy
to make.

Early in the afternoon I went to the grocery and bought whole grain flour to make my dough. Besides being super tasty, using whole grain flour has got a lot of health benefits as well.

 Whole wheat is nutritionally superior to refined flour. It is richer in protein, minerals, vitamins and antioxidants and lowers the incidence of obesity and a lot of diseases like cancer, diabetes and hearth diseases. I went straight home and dolled up a whole grain pizza crust with olive oil, feta cheese, fresh arugula, Parma and sweet cherry tomatoes from the market. What a simple and beautiful little creation. It was so fresh, healthy and inspiring

Ingredients 1 cup warm water ½ teaspoon organic sugar 1 package, active yeast (25g) 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 cups unbleached white flour 1-1/2 cups whole wheat flour 1 teaspoon salt For the topping 1 cup blanched and processed tomatoes, season with salt peeper and a pinch of sugar. Mixed with a half teaspoon tomato paste 100g Parma ham 100g feta cheese Handful fresh arugula Olive oil

Dissolve yeast in the warm water. Stir sugar to feed it and set aside. . Combine white flour and salt in a large mixing bowl, making a well in the center. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. And stir until blended. Gradually stir in the whole wheat flour, only adding enough to make soft, workable dough. Turn dough out onto a floured surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. (Continue to lightly flour your work surface if the dough becomes sticky while kneading.) Place dough in an oiled bowl, cover with a towel and let rise in a warm place until it's doubled in bulk, about 35 to 40 minutes. Shape into a rectangle or circle either by hand or with a rolling pin, stretching out as necessary to achieve thin dough. For a lighter crust, let the dough sit for a half hour after shaping before constructing pizza and baking Spreads sauce over crust Bake for 15 minutes Take of the oven and topping with Parma ham, cherry tomato, cute in halves and bake for 10 to 15 minutes Before serve add the arugula’s leaves and olive oil
