  Pizza Dough

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
  2. In a large bowl, mix whole-wheat flour, 1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose flour, salt and yeast. Stir in warm water and canola oil.
  3. Gradually stir in enough of remaining all-purpose flour to make a soft dough. Knead on lightly-floured surface until smooth and elastic.
  4. Shape dough into ball. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes before rolling out.
  5. Roll out dough and cut into 12 chunky rectangles. Place shaped dough on a parchment-lined baking trays and bake each tray for 8 minutes each.

  Sauce

  1. Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add canola oil.
  2. Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, pepper and crushed tomatoes. Simmer sauce for 5-10 minutes.

  Assembly

  1. Spread rectangles with pizza sauce and arrange slices of mozzarella in criss-cross fashion across the width of the dough so it looks like a mummy. Add two black olives for the eyes.
  2. Bake for 2-3 minutes to melt cheese.
