Directions for Making Whole Wheat Pizza

In a large bowl add the whole wheat flour, ground flaxseed (or wheat germ) and salt. Mix thoroughly. Create a well

Cover and set in a warm place to rise for 5 minutes.
Roll whole wheat dough on a floured baking sheet or pizza pan. Poke some holes in the dough with a fork. Allow to rise another 5 minutes.
Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes. Add desired pizza toppings then bake for an additional 15 minutes.
For a crispier whole wheat pizza crust, broil for an additional minute at the end of baking.
