THE CRUST
STEP ONE
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups organic whole wheat flour, possibly more if too sticky when you add the water

Combine dry ingredients in one bowl, crush dried herbs in palm of your hand and mix into flour. Set aside.
STEP 2
Ingredients:

After you press dough into pan (I use a ceramic pizza stone that is preheated), spread the sauce on the pie.
