Method

Preheat the oven to 450°.

Combine the warm water and yeast in a bowl and set aside for 15 minutes to activate. Mix whole wheat flour and flaxseed. Once the yeast and water is ready, whisk in the applesauce then pour into the bowl of flour. Mix well into a dough ball. Add additional flour if the dough seems too sticky. Sprinkle on some flour to make it easier to work with your hands. Work the dough just to combine it all well and make a ball. Place it in a bowl, and cover it with a plastic wrap. Set it aside for an hour until the dough doubles in size.

 Lightly cover the cooking surface and rolling pin with flour. Roll the dough on your surface until desired thickness. Put parchment paper below the pizza dough and place it on the cooking stone. Spread the pizza sauce on the dough. Add your toppings and put in the oven for 15-20 minutes.
