‘Positive’ Pizza with Flaxseed Crust and Spinach Pesto

• 1 Tablespoon honey or other liquid sweetener
• 2 ¼ teaspoons or 1 package active dry yeast
• 1 3/4 cups whole-wheat flour (plus more for kneading)
• 1/2 cup ground flaxseed
• 1 teaspoon salt

In a small bowl, mix honey with 1 cup warm water. Sprinkle yeast on top. Let sit 10 minutes until foamy. In large bowl, mix together flour, ground flaxseed and salt. Add yeast mixture and mix until all flour is incorporated.  Knead for approximately five minutes. Cover and let dough rest and rise 20-30 minutes. Shape dough by rolling or using your hands and place it on a pizza stone or pan. Bake in 350 degree oven for 5-10 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare the pesto:

• 2 cups spinach leaves
• 1 cup basil leaves
• 1/2 cup hempseeds
• 3 garlic cloves, peeled
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt and a pinch of pepper

• 2-3 Tablespoons olive oil

Place all ingredients but olive oil into a food processor and combine well, scraping the sides as needed. With the motor running, drizzle in the oil through top tube one tablespoon at a time until everything is smooth but not oily. Spread desired amount on pizza crust and top with your choice of ingredients.  Bake for another 10-15 minutes or until crust is brown on the bottom and toppings are cooked.
