Ingredients
DOUGH
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 package Fleischmann's® Rapid Rise Yeast
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 cup water
2 tablespoons olive or vegetable oil
Cornmeal
SAUCE
1 6-ounce can tomato paste
1/2 cup water
1 teaspoon spaghetti sauce seasoning
TOPPINGS
2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
4 ounces thinly sliced pepperoni or salami
1/2 cup sliced pitted ripe olives, well drained
2 2-ounce jars sliced pimientos, well drained
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)
Directions
Set aside 1 cup all-purpose flour. In large bowl, mix remaining flours, undissolved yeast and salt. Heat water and oil until hot to touch (125 to 130ºF); stir into dry mixture. Mix in enough reserved flour to make stiff dough. Knead on lightly floured surface until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.
2. In small bowl, combine tomato paste, water and spaghetti sauce seasoning.
3. Divide dough in half. Roll and stretch each to a 13-inch circle. Place on 2 (12-inch) round pizza pans or 2 baking sheets, greased and sprinkled with cornmeal. Shape edge into standing rim of dough.
4. Spread sauce and toppings on pizzas, dividing evenly. Bake at 450ºF for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted and lightly browned. Cut into wedges to serve.
