1. In a mixing bowl, add yeast and water, mix until the yeast is dissolved.

2. Add wheat flour, wholewheat flour and salt and mix until the dough is combined and separate easily from the bowl.

3. Knead on the counter top or electric mixer for about 8 minutes.

4. Cover and let it rest for 1 hour until double its size.

5. Portion the dough into two and shape them into a ball each.

6. Brush them with cooking oil and place the pizza dough in a oven-proof dish. Cover with plastic and let them rest for 45 minutes until it double its size.

You can store the pizza dough in the freezer for 30 days. Wrap each dough ball individually with plastic wrap and place it in a freezer bag or container with lid. When you are about to use your pizza dough, thaw it overnight for 24 hours in the fridge, then 2 - 3 hours before you are ready to bake, take it out of the fridge for it to reach room temperature.

1. 10 large ripe bananas mashed
2. 50g frozen or fresh blueberries (optional, you can leave them out if you run out of supplies. It won't affect the taste.)

5. 2 TBS olive oil (optional)
6. 2 tsp baking powder

1. As you eat them, you can tell the story of Jesus feeding five thousands with five loaves and two fish (from John 6:1-14 and Matthew 14:13-21) or Noah's Ark, depending on what animals you shaped.

This is very healthy - no sugar, no butter, but they still taste super sweet because the bananas is a natural sweetener and they are full of goodness from the oats, carrot, nuts and brewer's yeast.
