Some recipes take a little more time to perfect than others.  And let's face it - no one is going to complain about eating test pizzas for 5 nights in a row but I'm almost certain to hear some complains if I serve my family 5 different variations of an asparagus recipe that I'm trying to refine. 

We ate a LOT of pizza while I was tweaking this recipe.   My goal was to come up with the perfect whole wheat and white flour combination to create the perfect lip smackin crust.  A wheat crust that's both chewy and crispy but still soft and pillowy.

So as I took on the wonderfully laborious task of developing the perfect recipe for whole wheat pizza crust, I realized that this blogging thing is just about the best job in the world.   Seriously, what better way to spend a week than making and sampling for 5 days in a row?  Now if I could just work in a trip to Italy to do a little "pizza research" that would be perfect.
