Slow Cooker Whole Wheat Pizza

My daughter has been making whole wheat pizza for some time now in oven. However few weeks back when I blogged about making pizza in slow cooker in my round up about slow cooker vegetarian game day recipes, she at once tried whole wheat pizza in slow cooker.

She used her usual whole wheat pizza dough recipe but this time in slow cooker. Results were amazing. In-fact she liked the slow cooker version better as it was little moist and soft compare to oven counter part. Slow Cooker method is so easy now she makes pizza for kids school lunch too !

My daughter had picked up this whole wheat dough recipe from Cookie and Kate with some adjustments. I am posting it here with her adjustments.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Cook Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients to make whole wheat pizza dough:

1.    1 cup water (warm) - need little over 1 cup water but can be adjusted as needed

1.    1 tablespoon sugar

1.    1 tablespoon olive oil

1.    1 envelope (2¼ teaspoons) instant yeast

1.    2¾ cups whole wheat flour (or regular wheat flour) + 1 spoon rice flour (optional - it helps digestion)

1.    ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (or any other grated cheese)

1.    1 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

Method to make Pizza Dough:

1.    Whisk warm water, sugar, oil and yeast in bowl really well then and let it sit for 5 minutes. It should puff up some by then.

2.    Mix flour, cheese and salt well. Add water/oil/yeast/sugar mixture to make soft dough. Knead it well on a floured work surface. Dump the dough onto a floured work surface and quickly knead dough a few times until it comes together. Halve the dough.

3.    Pizza dough is now ready to be used either in oven or in slow cooker. Below is the slow cooker method.

Method to make Pizza in Slow Cooker:

1. Apply oil liberally in slow cooker bottom.

2. Take half the dough or as per your choice of thickness and size of the slow cooker and press it evenly in the slow cooker bottom.

3. Apply pizza sauce. Top with choice of vegetables and shredded cheese.

4. Cover slow cooker with a paper towel and then close the lead. This will make sure mist does not drop on the pizza and but it will give really nice softness to pizza.

5. Turn on slow cooker on high and let it cook for about 45 minutes.

6. Check if pizza is done by inserting toothpick. If toothpick comes out clean then pizza is done.

7. Turn off the heat. Take out the slow cooker bowl and put it on side to cool down.

8. Let the pizza cool down for 15-20 minutes before taking it out and serving.

Eggless Pinwheel Cookies

Its been long time since I made eggless sugar cookies  and no-bake roller coaster cookies for Christmas. My grand-kids have been asking me to make some cookies for them. So on occasion of Easter I made them these colorful eggless pinwheel cookies. I have also added some wheat flour to make them little bit healthier. If you look at the instructions they may seem lengthy. However I have provided step by step pictures also to help with the process.

Preparation Time : 30 Minutes
Baking Time :15 Minutes
Freezing Time : 2 hours
Makes 40 Cookies (depending on size )


Ingredients:
1. 2 cup all purpose flour
2. 1/2 cup wheat flour
3.  1tsp baking powder
4. 1/2tsp salt
5. 3/4 cup butter
6. 3/4 cup sugar
7. few tea spoon milk (as needed to adjust dough binding)
8.1/2 tsp vanilla
9. blue, pink, green and yellow food color

Method Step By Step:

1. Sift flour, baking powder and salt.
2. Combine butter and sugar in a mixing bowl and mix it very well until smooth.
3. Add vanilla and slowly add flour.
4. Add milk to make dough that will be soft enough to roll.

5. Divide in 4 equal parts and add color of your preference to each part and mix it well. I made one set of cookies with yellow and green and another set with pink and blue that why I am making 4 equal parts. If you prefer only two colors (single set) then you need to divide dough only in 2 parts.
6. Now cover plastic wrap and freeze dough for at least 1 hour so that it will be easy to roll.

7. Roll each of the dough part between parchment paper to desired thickness.

8.Based on color combination you desire, put one rolled portion over another and fold it in a cylinder.
9. Cover the cylinder with foil and put in freeze at least 1 hour.

10. Cut cookies approximately about 1/2" thickness. Line them on cookie sheet covered with parchment paper.

11. Bake cookies in pre-heat over @350F for 15 minute (or depending on your oven)

Variation:
Lot of variations are possible in these cookies for different tastes. As you can see in picture, I have also prepared some with coco powder.
