Garlic Butter Pizza Crust

Confession: I love Dominos pizza. Cheap delivery pizza is a pretty heavily debated topic at our office. We have a few Papa John's lovers, a couple of Dominos lovers and then one person who prefers Pizza Hut. We've been planning to have a blind folded pizza tasting night sometime. But I think we could also easily identify each one, even blind folded. And that just means that we order pizza too often.Anyway, this is my attempt at making a slightly healtier version of Dominos pizza crust. It's still pizza, don't get me wrong. It's not exactly health food. BUT I would feel ok eating this once a week or so. And that's my test for, "how healthy is this food." It's basically, would I feel really guilty if I ate this every week. If not, then it's probably a pretty decent dinner option. But I'm (obviously) no health expert.Garlic Butter Pizza Crust, makes one large crust.

1 cup water
1/2 tablespoon sugar
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
2 cups all purpose flour
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
1/2 teaspoon dry oregano
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
4 tablespoons butter
1/2 tablespoon garlic salt Stir together the water and sugar. Pour the yeast over the water and give it a stir (no need to dissolve it). Let that sit for 5 minutes. It should bubble and get foamy, that means the yeast is alive and working.In a bowl combine the flours, salt and oregano. Pour in the yeast mixture and oil. Stir until a dough ball forms (if you're using a stand mixer use the dough hook attachement). Knead for 5-6 minutes, until the dough becomes elastic-like. Place in a light greased bowl, cover and allow to rise for 1 1/2 hours.Roll out on a lightly floured surface. Place on your baking sheet that has been lightly dusted with flour or cornmeal. Now here's the really important part: melt the butter and stir in the garlic salt. Brush the entire crust with the garlic butter mixture. Now bake at 400°F for 5 minutes. Brush with any remaining garlic butter and add your sauce, cheese and toppings. Bake for an additional 8-10 minutes until the cheese begins to bubble.I topped mine with a store bought sauce, mozzerella, tomatoes, basil and avocados. But you do your thing. xo. Emma
