Piave Lemon Pizza


(The other half of the pizza shown above is jalapeno/cheese)
1 recipe dough (my recipe down below)
3-4 ounces shredded Piave cheese
6-8 very thinly sliced lemons, seeds OUT
Red onion, thinly sliced (eyeball how much red onion you want on it- I wish I'd put more on)
1 tsp Herbs de Provence (or original recipe calls for fresh rosemary sprigs)
Extra virgin olive oil
Freshly ground cracked pepper
Spread dough out on a round pan. Top with lemon and onion slices. Sprinkle herbs all over, as well as pepper. Drizzle olive oil all over and pop in the oven, either broil or bake at 400 degree's until dough is well brown.

Dough
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
2 cups warm water+a sprinkle of sugar
4- 5 cups whole wheat flour
2 tsp salt
1-2 Tbsp olive oil
Dissolve yeast in a large bowl with water and a sprinkle of sugar (the sugar helps the yeast to "come alive"). Let proof for 10 minutes. Add 4 cups of flour. Add salt and oil. If you need more flour at this point, go ahead and sprinkle some more in, tablespoon by tablespoon. On a lightly floured surface, knead dough for a few minutes until it comes in a smooth, round shape. Grease bowl, and place dough ball back in. Cover and let rise for at least one hour at room temperature.
