why are so many of y'all so mean, she was just providing a recipe, YOU CAME TO THIS THREAD, she didn't force you to read her recipe OR make it...as far as I'm concerned she was trying to be helpful and so many people here are just plain RUDE
if you don't like the recipe or want your full-calorie "normal" pizza go ahead! It's your prerogative. But no need to trash her recipe it's not like any of you even tried it so CHILL OUT maybe the people hating on this really do need to eat something
last time I checked it is an open forum and all can comment...
why don't you start a private group and label it "The non pizza lovers substitution gang" or something ...

Do you really have to ask? We got us a whole passel of folks deluding themselves into thinking a tortilla and some fat free cheese is a pizza because they also slap a little pizza sauce onto it.0 -

need.
I mostly order pizza because I'm lazy.
But It clocks in around 17-2000 calories for the night alone because I typically eat the whole damn thing.
I need to step up my game and make my own- I can make 5-900 calories fit much better than an extra 2000.
1 cup warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon white sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
2 1/2 cups flour (I use half wheat, half white)
2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 1/4 teaspoons active dry yeast
Sprinkles of the following:
Red Pepper flake
Onion Powder
Rosemary
Parsley
Directions
Dump it all in the bread machine, set to knead (or pizza if you have that setting). I tend to make this the morning of, and let it rest all day in the fridge (after first rise), you can even rest it overnight.
Preheat oven to 380.
Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface. Sprinkle your baking sheet liberally with cornmeal. Place dough on pan and brush with a good olive oil, then add your choice of pizza toppings.
Bake in preheated oven until golden brown, about 12 to 15 minutes.
Makes about 24 ounces of dough. Nutrition info:

why is pizza not healthy?
In the context of overall diet, SOME pizza is not unhealthy. But for those with limited calories, to balance the overall diet pizza may not be something that fits often. And if the diet isn't balanced, it's unhealthy.
yes, I was referring to the blanket statement that it is "unhealthy"
I see you are once again not reading through all the comments before jumping in ...
No, it didn't. It said they prefer a healthier alternative. You changed it to unhealthy.
yea, again, I was not talking to you, I was referring to another poster..but you decided to make this about you...
I chose to make it about the post to which you replied. And to answer your question. If you chose the wrong one ...
yes, you injected yourself into a conversation without fully understanding said conversation, which is something you do all the time.
Well, it is a forum, not a private conversation.
yes, it is a forum, and yes you can jump in ....but you might want to at least have a clue as to what you are referring back to ...

Oh honey.
It says substitute in big black letters at the beginning of the post!
Again people, order yourself a pizza pie if you want, no one is trying to keep you from having real pizza! This is for people who need/want an alternative!
lmao!

lol You guys. Always so positive. Of course real pizza is 100x better. And of course if you'd prefer the real deal no need to look at my post. But this recipe is for those like myself, who can't order a pie and stop at 1 or 2 slices. Also great for those who don't want to use up 400-700 calories from their daily limit for one meal. It's for those who prefer a healthier, lighter, less greasier option. Thanks though!
Everyone else who left positive feedback, thanks and enjoy!
Not trying to be a hater - the point I'm trying to make is more that I don't think it 'works' to not eat foods that you miss. If you're cutting foods you love out of your diet, ultimately, you'll binge and then be disappointed in yourself. I'm sure what you've made is very tasty, but my point is that I don't think this whole weight loss thing can be permanently successful unless you find a way to allow yourself the foods you love. Sweets are my issue, but over time I've changed how I look at food, as well as learned how to help myself succeed, so I now know how to eat what I love, within reason. This past weekend (I'm a nerd) I had cherry pie and vanilla ice cream for Pi day. I also had bacon with my breakfast. I'm watching my calories every 7 days and made this work on only 1200 daily avg. cals. I've lost over 12 pounds in 9 weeks, and had a healthy BMI at my starting weight. If I can do it, anyone can!

@hj127 thank you!
And some of these people are the same people that post threads or statuses wondering why the scale isn't moving or inches aren't being lost -___- It is what it is. I know many people whether they posted here or not, will enjoy and benefit from the recipe and that gives me satisfaction
Child please.
I have lost 72 pounds so far eating pizza that I make myself 2-3 times a month. Your insinuation is ignorant and ruder than any other post in this entire thread.
So you keep eating your tortillas and calling them pizza and I'll keep eating real pizza and losing weight.-1 -

On another note- if you take out the pepperoni and sub the tortilla for matzoh, this is a great option for passover. Anyone want to tell me that I should eat 'real' pizza on passover???0

If I'm using a flat out or a pita, sometimes it also helps to preheat a cookie sheet in the over until it's very hot, throw the bread on it, and toast it from there.0 -
2. No Hi-Jacking, Trolling, or Flame-baiting
Please stay on-topic in an existing thread, and post new threads in the appropriate forum. Taking a thread off-topic is considered hi-jacking. Please either contribute politely and constructively to a topic, or move on without posting. This includes posts that encourage the drama in a topic to escalate, or posts intended to incite an uproar from the community.
Yes, these are open forums, but there are guidelines which all users are expected to follow. If you do not have anything constructive to post in a thread, please move on without posting. Everyone has a different approach to weight loss that works for them, and every post where someone expresses a different path doesn't have to turn into a dumpster fire.0 -

Ahh, so the other day I made Papa Murphys Pizza and threw Red Hots and more chickens on there. It was a Festivus Miracle!
