- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 to 3/4 cup whole wheat flour

- 1/2 cup warm water (120° to 130°)
- 4-1/2 teaspoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon honey
TOPPINGS:- 1 small onion, chopped
- 3 teaspoons cider vinegar, divided

- 1-1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage

Instructions
- 1. In a small bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, yeast, salt and sugar. Stir in the water, oil and honey; beat just until moistened. Stir in enough remaining whole wheat flour to form a soft dough (dough will be sticky).
- 2. Turn onto a floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 6-8 minutes. Cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
- 3. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, saute the onion, 2 teaspoons vinegar, 1 teaspoon syrup, salt and cayenne in oil until onion is tender. Remove from the heat; stir in the sage, mustard and remaining vinegar and syrup.
- 4. Grease a 12-in. pizza pan; sprinkle with cornmeal. Roll out dough to fit prepared pan; prick thoroughly with a fork. Bake at 450° for 5-8 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
- 5. Arrange the onion mixture, beet greens, apple, sausages and cheese over top. Bake 5-7 minutes longer or until crust is golden and cheese is melted.
