STUFFED CHEESE PIZZA 
1 pkg. (or 1 tbsp.) active dry yeast
1/4 c. warm water (110 to 115°F)
3 c. whole wheat flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tbsp. dried oregano
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 c. water
3 c. part skim mozzarella cheese, grated
1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen broccoli spears, defrosted and chopped -or-
2 c. cooked fresh broccoli, chopped
1 c. pizza sauce

To make the crust, dissolve the yeast in the warm water in a large bowl.

Add the flour, salt, oregano, oil and 1 cup water. Mix well. Knead the dough on a lightly-floured surface for about 2 minutes, or until the dough is smooth. Place the dough in an oiled bowl. Cover with a damp towel and let rise in a warm place for 1 hour, or until doubled in bulk.

Punch down the dough. Divide into two parts. Press half the dough onto the bottom of a 10-inch oiled pie pan., Sprinkle the cheese and broccoli over the dough. Press the other half of the dough into a 10-inch round. Set on top of the cheese and broccoli. Crimp the edges together. Make several slashes in the top crust.

Bake in a 400°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden brown.

Serves 8.
