Pesto Mozzarella Pizza on Wheat Crust

Dinner

1 May
First, the answer is yes. The above picture was taken on my kitchen floor by an open door because when the pizza was finished, the lighting was WAY too dark in my kitchen to take a good picture. Don’t worry, the pizza stone is still underneath it. And there were only like 5 hairs in the pizza when I ate it so it didn’t kill me or anything 😉
Anyway…hey, guys! I have been in New Orleans this week for work and it has been quite the experience! The French Quarter is awesome. I am always amazed and appreciate cool archictecure. The food is the bomb as well. Yes I just said that.
Last week I was randomly craving pizza and I knew it had to be the kind with yummy mozarella cheese so I then knew it had to be the kind that was homemade. I wanted a healthier wheat crust so I looked up a tasty recipe and made this pizza which is like an explosion of Italy in your mouth. And who doesn’t want that? 
I will be making some homemade pesto later in the summer once I get my basil plant producing for me. No, I have not planted it yet…but I will! I was planning to make homemade basil for this pizza then saw the price for basil leaves at several grocery stores I went to. It literally would have cost me like $50 to make my own basil. I’m starting a garden this year (YAY!) so I’ll plant basil and have a recipe for you in a few months. I know you’ll be sitting a the edge of your seat until then.
This pizza was so good that I was talking to myself out loud in my house saying “mmm!” when I tried it. 






Pesto Mozzarella Pizza on Wheat Crust



Wheat crust covered in mozzarella, pesto and fresh tomatoes

Servings: 2 pizzas



Printable recipe



Ingredients
Crust:
1 tsp white sugar
1 and 1/2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
1 Tbsp active drive yeast 
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 tsp salt
2 cups whole wheat flour
1 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

 
Topping:
Fresh mozzarella cheese to taste, I used about 12 ounces on two pizzas
Pesto – this Buitoni pesto found in the refrigerator section by the pepperoni was really good
Roma tomatoes

Directions
1. In a large bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water. Sprinkle yeast over the top, and let stand for about 10 minutes, until foamy. 
2. Stir the
olive oil and salt into the yeast mixture, then mix in the whole wheat
flour and 1 cup of the all-purpose flour until dough starts to come
together. Tip dough out onto a surface floured with the remaining
all-purpose flour, and knead until all of the flour has been absorbed,
and the ball of dough becomes smooth, about 10 minutes. You can also do this in a mixer. Place dough in
an oiled bowl, and turn to coat the surface. Cover loosely with a towel,
and let stand in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.
 
3.
When the
dough is doubled, tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and
divide into 2 pieces. Form each piece into a tight ball, then put into
separate oiled bowls, turn to cover surfaces and cover loosely with a
towel. Let rise for about 45 minutes, until
doubled.
 
4. Preheat the
oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Roll a ball of dough with a
rolling pin until it will not stretch any further. Then, drape it over
both of your fists, and gently pull the edges outward, while rotating
the crust. When the circle has reached the desired size, place on a well
oiled pizza pan. You can also use a pizza stone
which is what I did and I think this makes a big difference in evenly
cooking the crust. Keep in mind that you need to heat up the pizza stone
with the oven, take it out, place the pizza crust on it then add the
toppings. Spread pesto then top with mozzarella.
 
5.
Bake for 16
to 20 minutes (depending on thickness) in the preheated oven, until the
crust is crisp and golden at the edges, and cheese is melted on the top.
Take out of the oven then top with freshly cut tomatoes. Cut with a
pizza cutter. Enjoy! 
Note: Pizza crust recipe from allrecipes.com


And if you can’t wait a second longer for the pesto-mozzarella-tomatoey deliciousness, simply buy a whole wheat pita, throw all of the ingredients on top then microwave for about 45 seconds. This is an easy lunch!

Favorite things I heard this week: Goldie genuinel Favorite things I heard this week:
Goldie genuinely asking Harris: “Who has your heart been waiting for?” asking him about who he thinks is cute at school.
Harris: “I haven’t decided yet.”

Goldie walking into my closet before bed last night: “How is my pretty pretty one?” referring to me 😂 Yes, I will read you another book, Goldie.

What were some things that lit up your week?
Make us smile!

This week I was asked this question: “You believ This week I was asked this question: “You believe IN Jesus Christ…but do you believe Him? Do you believe Him when He says He will heal you?”

This made me pause! Do I? Not often enough. I believe that He lived and He atoned for our sins. But I often worry and fear and forget that He’s already paved the way. I often have anxiety about an unknown future and forget that nothing surprises Him and His way is the way home. We know how this all ends. We have the path! But do we believe Him when He says He will heal us? Actually believe that He says what He promises?

I want my kids to know that I believe in Him AND I believe Him. Grateful grateful grateful for the right questions! #parcellsundayselfie 6/5/22
Motherhood has given me a small glimpse at what Go Motherhood has given me a small glimpse at what God thinks of His children, too. Us. I’ll be looking at my kids in awe of every little detail of perfection. Just staring. Thinking how perfect their eyes are, and their cheeks, and the way they say things. Even though they really aren’t perfect, you know? Except they are.

I think that’s what God sees in us, too. We aren’t perfect and yet He sees us that way.

How our flaws aren’t that big of a deal.

That it’s okay because He encourages us to try again.

We spill, and don’t say things right, and mess up.

But He looks at us the way we look at our kids. I think it’s really cool that someone loves us that much, too ❤️
Happy Sunday, friends! ✨ I love this family of m Happy Sunday, friends! ✨ I love this family of mine. I think the family structure is such a gift. “In family relationships, 'love' is really spelled 't-i-m-e,' time. Taking time for each other is the key for harmony at home.” - Dieter F. Uchtdorf (one of my FAV speakers!)

My kids will be 6 in July and my mom said to me recently, “they’re 1/3 of the way to 18!” 🤯 That just boggles my mind. Time truly does go quickly and that’s a good thing because that reminder allows you soak up the good times AND that reminder allows you to know that hard times will pass. ❤️

I hope you get some good times this weekend, friends! #parcellsundayselfie 5/29/22
Snaps from the weekend with our little family! Gol Snaps from the weekend with our little family! Goldie had her spring recital and one of my favorite parts is that Harris is always so excited to cheer her on. I think that’s one of the best parts about being a family. We’re each other’s people! Through the highs and the lows.

Goldie got back in the car after her dance pictures on Friday and said, “I need snack after all that excitement!”

We hope you had a great weekend! xo #parcellsundayselfie 5/22/22
Slowly making my way through every vending machine Slowly making my way through every vending machine in Utah, selling out the crap you don’t want your kids to eat. “No” isn’t a sound that comes frequently out of my mouth these days when asked by my kids if those gummies are coming home with us. Anyone have change for a $5?

16 weeks tomorrow! Feeling great!! #16weekspregnant #ivfsuccess
Happy Sunday! Tell me the most important things yo Happy Sunday! Tell me the most important things you focus on teaching your kids? 👇🏻

For me, it’s teaching them who they are which is children of God and where to find peace and direction.

The thing I need to work on teaching them more is how to clean up after themselves 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 Give me your best tips! Tyler and I have started to say we will give away the items that they don’t clean up. If they aren’t responsible enough to take care of them, they aren’t responsible enough to own them.

Fun times in the Parcell house right now! 😂 #parcellsundayselfie 5/15/22
