Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2.25 teaspoons Active dry yeast
- 1 cup Warm water (110°F)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 0.5 pounds Ground beef
- 1 Green bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 2 cups Mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup Pizza sauce
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons Dried basil
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
In a large bowl, mix the whole wheat flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a dough forms.
Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a clean towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for 1 hour, or until doubled in size.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to preheat.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat and set aside.
Divide the risen dough into two equal portions. Roll one portion out into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface.
Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.
Spread half of the pizza sauce evenly across the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by half of the cooked ground beef and sliced bell peppers.
Sprinkle garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, and optional red pepper flakes over the toppings for extra flavor.
Carefully transfer the pizza (with parchment paper) to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is crisp and golden, and the cheese is bubbling.
Repeat with the second portion of dough and remaining toppings to make a second pizza.
Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool slightly, slice, and serve. Enjoy your homemade Whole Wheat Beef N Pepper Pizza!
