  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. Cut dough into two equal pieces. Roll 1/2 the dough into a rectangle. Cut into 12 long, thin rectangles. Bunch them up to make them look crooked. Add knobs of dough to create knuckles on a few pieces. Attach Brazil nut (or nut of choice) to the end as a fingernail. Repeat with the remaining 1/2 of the dough.
  6. In a small bowl, beat the egg. Brush each pizza finger with the beaten egg and bake for 10 minutes.
  7. Serve with pizza sauce for dipping.

  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.
