Quick Whole Grain Dough
Makes 2 10-inch tarts Vegan
This dough takes under 2 minutes to mix and knead. If the dough is ready before you are, you can punch it down and let it rise again, or even make it ahead and refrigerate it, covered, overnight. Bring it to room temperature before shaping.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups unbleached white flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 tsp. instant yeast
3/4 tsp. salt
1 Tbs. olive oil, preferably extra virgin
3/4 cup warm water (105—110F)
Directions:
- Combine both flours, yeast and salt in food processor; pulse to combine. With motor running, add olive oil and warm water through feed tube, and process about 15 seconds, or until dough forms a ball.
- Turn dough onto lightly floured work surface, and knead just until smooth and manageable, about 1 minute. Place dough in greased bowl, and turn to coat. Cover with damp kitchen towel, and let rise in warm, draft-free place until doubled, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. (Dough is ready when fingerprint on surface fills in slowly.)
What's your favorite kind of pizza?

the REAL recipe uses anchovies, not roasted red peppers. But it sounds like a nice variation anyway. Still, the taste will be quite different. The anchovies are a sine qua non ingredient in pissaladiere, as much so as the onions and the black olives. I suspect this is an ancient recipe, before the pizza variation was invented when tomatoes and capsicums etc were brought from the New World to Europe. Hence, on the margarita pizza, you usually still find the black olives and the anchovies. It's obvious that the word pizza is related to pitta and pides, and that kind of flat bread is found around the Mediterranean. It is not an Italian invention.
This recipe is great, I tried it on my middle schooler's French class dinner. It went over very well - easy to transport and can be served at room temperature.
I think the first poster missed the fact that this is a vegetarian blog, that's why there are no anchovies here.
Fun and yum! I could eat that every week. ♈
