Some Sunday dinners are better than others. This one, while not actually a failure, was definitely a “surprise”. I decided to do homemade pizza, but wanted to create a crust that adhered to SBD rules. So, no white flour, basically. I chose whole wheat and oat. Should have added some type of gluten, I guess, because what came out of the bread machine was not your typical pizza crust. Not gluten-y enough. Couldn’t toss it or shape it like your standard pizza pie. So instead of pizza night, it was flatbread night.

Sauteed mushrooms and onions; chicken sausage; kalamata olives; fresh mozzarella cheese and goat cheese on a half tomato/half olive oil base.

It wasn’t bad by any means and in fact was very edible. More than edible, though the dough was very obviously a “whole grain” bread. It’s just when you have visions of pizza in your mind, and the end result isn’t pizza, it’s a “surprise”.

I made enough dough to freeze a second batch, which I clearly labelled “WHOLE GRAIN FLATBREAD DOUGH” on the ziploc. So no surprises when we take it out next time.
