Pizza and Wine...recipe for a splendid winter day

With company expected on the weekend I decided to make homemade pizza, something that would enhance a great bottle of local Prince Edward County white wine. I made enough whole wheat and spelt flour crust for 3 pizzas topped with both mozzarella and provolone cheese, olives, sundried tomatoes, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, a bit of onion, capers and artichoke hearts. It was absolutely delicious! ...and not just because of the wine....although that was wonderful also. We topped the crust with half of the grated cheese, then the other toppings and finished off with more cheese. Voila! As an aside, I only used 1/3 of the dough. After the first rising I put the other 2 balls in the freezer for another time. Just thaw it and spread it out on the pizza pan, top with your favourite toppings (no tomato sauce required) and another easy, delicious dinner or afternoon delight is ready for the wine.
