Healthy Pizza?

Pocket-less whole wheat pitas are great because it is like having a thick crust and I love pizza crust. 3 oz. Ground Turkey breast with garlic, peppers, onions and spinach. 2 slices Reduced cal provolone. YUM-O I love this meal. It totals about 500 cal but low in fat and filling

I like the Hungry Girl recipes, and she just did a show on pizzas:

Jamie Oliver here did an awesome pizza. You can do your own toppings for it. I now make my own base and the sauce.

1 1/2 cups self raising flour
1/2 cup of water
(If it's still a bit gooey, then add in more flour or vice versa if it's too dry)

Then for my sauce:
1 carton of Passatta (sieved tomatoes)
1 garlic clove
4-5 basil leaves (depending on how basil-y you like things)
1 pinch of dried chilli flakes
Salt and Pepper.

The sauce is plentiful for the pizza, then you can just put the rest in the fridge. I love having it with pasta for a basic pasta and sauce meal.

Hope this helps

Here's the recipe that I used and I'll add in my *tweaks*.

Amazing Whole Wheat Pizza Crust

Ingredients

1 teaspoon white sugar (I think next time I'll use 1 tsp. honey instead)

1 1/2 cups warm water (110 degrees F/45 degrees C)

1 tablespoon active dry yeast

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon salt

2 cups whole wheat flour

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (I used 1 cup flour + 1/2 cup cornmeal)



Directions

1.In a large bowl, dissolve sugar in warm water. Sprinkle yeast over the top, and let stand for about 10 minutes, until foamy.


2.Stir the olive oil and salt into the yeast mixture, then mix in the whole wheat flour and 1 cup of the all-purpose flour until dough starts to come together. Tip dough out onto a surface floured with the remaining all-purpose flour, and knead until all of the flour has been absorbed, and the ball of dough becomes smooth, about 10 minutes. Place dough in an oiled bowl, and turn to coat the surface. Cover loosely with a towel, and let stand in a warm place until doubled in size, about 1 hour.


3.When the dough is doubled, tip the dough out onto a lightly floured surface, and divide into 2 pieces for 2 thin crust, or leave whole to make one thick crust. Form into a tight ball. Let rise for about 45 minutes, until doubled. (I made it into 3 balls for a thinner crust pizza)


4.Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Roll a ball of dough with a rolling pin until it will not stretch any further. Then, drape it over both of your fists, and gently pull the edges outward, while rotating the crust. When the circle has reached the desired size, place on a well oiled pizza pan (I used my Pampered Chef Pizza Stones). Top pizza with your favorite toppings, such as sauce, cheese, meats, or vegetables.


5.Bake for 16 to 20 minutes (depending on thickness) in the preheated oven, until the crust is crisp and golden at the edges, and cheese is melted on the top. (I prebaked the crust w/ a little sauce first for about 5 minutes, then topped w/ toppings and baked until cheese melted, another 7 minutes or so)

**************************



From the ingredients that I used and figured out, it makes 30 pieces (I made 3 thin crust pizzas, 10 slices per pizza)



1 piece (just crust... without toppings, you'll have to figure that separately):

This is the one I use also and then my husband chops up green peppers,onions,and turkey pepperoni...then we add marinara sauce.with low fat mozzarella cheese.

I second the Flat Out Wraps. They are really delicious and are about 90 calories each. I had one today and rolled it to make a pizza wrap. I added some the Ragu pizza sauce, some fat free shredded cheese, Jimmy Dean turkey sausage crumbles and Hormel mini turkey pepperoni. One pizza (or pizza roll) is about 415 calories.
