Ingredients

DOUGH:
2/3 cup water (70° to 80°)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1/4 teaspoon salt
1-1/2 cups bread flour
1/2 cup rye flour
1 teaspoon active dry yeast

1 cup fat-free evaporated milk
1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
1/4 cup shredded Swiss cheese
TOPPINGS:

Directions

In bread machine pan, place dough ingredients in order suggested by manufacturer. Select dough setting (check dough after 5 minutes of mixing; add 1 to 2 tablespoons of water or flour if needed).
When cycle is completed, turn dough onto a lightly floured surface. Punch dough down; roll into a 13-in. circle. Transfer to a 12-in. pizza pan coated with cooking spray; build up edges slightly. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes.
Prick dough thoroughly with a fork. Bake at 400° for 6-8 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
Meanwhile, for sauce, in a small saucepan, saute chopped onion in butter until tender. Stir in flour until blended; gradually add evaporated milk and mustard. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in cheese. Spread over crust. Top with sliced onion, ham and cheese. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until crust and cheese are lightly browned.

So delicious!! I love the crust and the sauce! I make it at least once every couple of months.

This was tasty (and totally unlike any pizza I've ever tried before). Loved the tang of mustard in the sauce! I subbed prosciutto for the ham and used a pre-baked crust.

Made this pizza and loved it! I like the fact that it is not traditional 'tomato base' pizza recipe. I will defiantly make it again!
