A good recipe for pizza

seniorfaye

Sometimes I get so hungry for pizza but know it is loaded with calories. I found a thin tortilla recipe for one tonight. My DH and I enjoyed them very much. Thought someone might also like to try it.

Another good recipe to add to the mix. I will try this version very soon!

I often do personal pizzas at home. I buy the whole wheat pizza dough from my supermarket, add tomato sauce (no salt added), then turkey pepperoni and veggies like green peppers and onions. Top with some cheese (reduced, low cal). Delish!

This is making me hungry :bigsmile:

Looks good i'll have to try this.

I'm always looking for good, low cal pizza recipes. Thanks!

Hi Faye, I love using a whole wheat pita for my pizza crust. If I need fewer carbs I cut the pita in half (around) and carefully separate the round into two pieces, it makes a nice thin crust. If I have extra carbs available I just use the whole pita as is for a thicker crust. Use homemade pizza sauce and pile on my favorite healthy toppings, bake on a pizza stone or rack for about 15 minute or so depending on how crispy you like your crust. I have served this pizza to many people and they love it!!! I have been making these since my kids were little....they are now 25 and 21.

Have a healthy and happy night

Shiitake Mushroom and Gorgonzola Pizza

The robust flavor of blue cheese underscores the earthiness of the mushrooms on this delectable pizza. Gorgonzola has a pronounced flavor, but any blue cheese will work nicely.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 2 wedges)

Ingredients
1/2 recipe Pizza Dough
Cooking spray
1 tablespoon cornmeal
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced button mushrooms
1 1/3 cups thinly sliced shiitake mushrooms
1 cup vertically sliced red onion
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons low-fat sour cream
1/2 cup (3 ounces) crumbled Gorgonzola or other blue cheese
Preparation
Preheat oven to 450°.

Roll the dough into a 12-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Place the dough on a 12-inch pizza pan or a baking sheet coated with cooking spray and sprinkled with cornmeal. Crimp the edges of the dough with your fingers to form a rim.

Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and onion; sauté for 5 minutes. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 3 minutes or until the onion is very tender. Stir in the salt and pepper.

Spread the sour cream over pizza crust, leaving a 1-inch border. Top with mushroom mixture; sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 450° for 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Cut into 8 wedges.

Bump- good recipes! Thank you

Instead of using a crust try putting your pizza toppings on a chicken breast. I made this last night and it was really good. I used thin chicken breasts and pan sauteed them with salt, pepper and red pepper flacks until almost done..I put them on a cookie sheet topped with pizza sauce, turkey pepporoni, and low fat cheese..baked until cheese was melted.

Lilbundle

Wow this recipe sounds really good. I was planning on making pizza for supper tonight and now I can also enjoy pizza, this way. Just bought some tortilla's last night so I might have to try it.

Bump Thank You.

I use a 'healthier' tortilla to make my pizzas. I just put the oven on 400-425 and place my 'pizza' on a cookie sheet and bake it til the edges are brown. It's gets REAL crispy to an almost-crackerlike consistency. I don't even bother with using 2 tortillas...one works great!
