Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 packet Quick-rise yeast
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 cup Part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, yeast, honey, and olive oil. Stir gently and let sit for about 5 minutes until frothy.
Add whole wheat flour, salt, garlic powder, and ground flaxseed to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough begins to form.
Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is sticky, add a bit more flour as needed.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for approximately 30 minutes or until doubled in size.
Once risen, punch down the dough to release air. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a flat rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.
Evenly sprinkle the surface of the dough with the mozzarella cheese and Parmesan cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before cutting.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.
