Rye Bread Pizza

Pizza Chef art prints deleted

It's time for one of my recipes again, to get some food ads showing up. Too much business makes Google a Dull Boy!

Rye Bread pizza doesn't sound good to a lot of people. And if your talking Grandma's old hard a rock lump of dry old bread, I can understand this. But this is a 21st Century version, soft and chewy, and not overwhelming strong. But it's not something that Pizza Dude is about to make Pizza of the week- though he should!

If you don't have bread machine, you can still make this recipe, the robot isn't that important. Just a good mixer, with a bread hook will do, and about 90 minutes. Bread machine, on dough though, makes it effortless.

1 1/2 t salt
1 tbl sugar
1 tbl olive oil
1/2 t caraway seeds
1/2 t dill seeds
(optional) Pinch / quick shake of Anise seed (not much)
1/2 c rye flour
1/2 c whole wheat
1 3/4 c warm water
1 tbl quick acting yeast
3 1/2 C all purpose flour

divide dough in half, for two large pizzas.
Bake at 420 for twenty minutes with your favorite toppings, on a pizza stone!
Sharp Cheddar Cheese with Mozzarella really completes this pie.
Easily feeds 6 to 8 adults.

The same recipe with about 1 2/3 c water instead of 1 3/4, makes a nice loaf of bread as well. Bake it at 400 degrees for 45 minutes, for the 2 lbs loaf.
