Baking with the King - King Arthur: Pizza!

As I wrote last week I received some cool products from King Arthur Flour in what I called my big box o'fun. When you are a cook/baker there is nothing more exciting that new stuff for your kitchen be it flours, spices or a gadget. For this second installment my intention was to again use my White Whole Wheat Flour in something I would ordinarily use regular white flour and see how I like it. To my surprise the recipe called for the other flour in my box - King Arthur Unbleached Cake Flour.  Oooh, two new flours in one recipe - cool, huh? (If you click on the photo you will learn all about this spiffy flour.)

I love making homemade pizza as I have mentioned in a previous post as the pizza out here is just awful. So I whipped out my pizza: Anyway You Slice It cookbook and went for my basic Neopolitan crust recipe but instead of white flour I used my King Arthur White Whole Wheat Flour.  Here I am working my little fingers to the bone kneading my dough. Tough work, that. Heh heh.

I must say, the two flours (White Whole Wheat and Unbleached Cake) made a G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S. dough. Here it is before the first rise....

...and after.

The recipe makes enough for two pies. What I do is freeze one ball of dough so I basically have "pizza on demand" one night when I need a quick meal.

I never do things like the recipe says. *sigh* so this is how I built my pizza. I put on a layer of goat's milk chevre mixed with a bit of olive oil, goat's milk and two cloves of minced garlic.

Then I added a layer of rehydrated summer tomatoes. I cannot begin to tell you how yummy these tomatoes are. They have a bright, sweet/tart flavor.

On top of that went some cooked sausage

The hubby's half got some anchovies (uhm, ICK!)

Then I topped it with some grated goat's milk colby cheese. I cracked open one of my wheels of cheese a bit early and to be honest my colby tasted a bit like cheddar but it was still mighty good.

Into the oven it went and it came out looking all bubbly and yummy.

Now I don't know what happened in the oven but when we tasted this pizza the flavors all came together to create a whole new taste.
We were eating and enjoying that we hardly talked to one another.
Needless to say there were no leftovers.

Now of course,the purpose of this post - THE CRUST!! It was delish! Nice and crispy with a bit of chew in the middle just like I want. I am again THRILLED with this White Whole Wheat Flour. It performed well and the crust as good, if not better than when I used white flour. 
Obviously the Unbleached Cake Flour performed well too. It will get to star all on its own next week when I  - here's a shocker for Cake Flour - BAKE A CAKE!

Stay tuned to the blog!  Next week I will have a giveaway for your very own King Arthur White Whole Wheat Flour so you, too can learn to love it as much as I do!

 Can we have a great big THANK YOU to King Arthur Flour?!
