- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (1 mL)
- 1 can (28 oz/796 mL) crushed tomatoes (1 can)

Directions
Pizza Dough
- Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C).
- In a large bowl, mix whole-wheat flour, 1 cup (250 mL) all-purpose flour, salt and yeast. Stir in warm water and canola oil.
- Gradually stir in enough of remaining all-purpose flour to make a soft dough. Knead on lightly-floured surface until smooth and elastic.
- Shape dough into ball. Cover and let rest for 10 minutes before rolling out.
- Cut dough into two equal pieces. Roll 1/2 the dough into a rectangle. Cut into 12 long, thin rectangles. Bunch them up to make them look crooked. Add knobs of dough to create knuckles on a few pieces. Attach Brazil nut (or nut of choice) to the end as a fingernail. Repeat with the remaining 1/2 of the dough.
- In a small bowl, beat the egg. Brush each pizza finger with the beaten egg and bake for 10 minutes.
- Serve with pizza sauce for dipping.
Sauce
- Heat a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add canola oil.
- Add onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, pepper and crushed tomatoes. Simmer sauce for 5-10 minutes.
