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)

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine the warm water, sugar, and active dry yeast. Stir and let it sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.

Step 2

In a large bowl, mix the whole wheat flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a dough forms.

Step 3

Transfer the dough onto a floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to preheat.

Step 6

In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground beef until browned and fully cooked. Drain excess fat and set aside.

Step 7

Divide the risen dough into two equal portions. Roll one portion out into a 12-inch circle on a floured surface.

Step 8

Carefully transfer the rolled-out dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.

Step 9

Spread half of the pizza sauce evenly across the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 10

Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the sauce, followed by half of the cooked ground beef and sliced bell peppers.

Step 11

Sprinkle garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, and optional red pepper flakes over the toppings for extra flavor.

Step 12

Carefully transfer the pizza (with parchment paper) to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.

Step 13

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is crisp and golden, and the cheese is bubbling.

Step 14

Repeat with the second portion of dough and remaining toppings to make a second pizza.

Step 15

Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool slightly, slice, and serve. Enjoy your homemade Whole Wheat Beef N Pepper Pizza!
