50% less fat • 66% more fiber • 33% fewer calories than the original recipe—see the comparison. We tossed up a heart-healthier, whole wheat flour crust, dashed the salt and olive oil, and added plum tomatoes to make this pizza a wiser choice. From eatbetteramerica.
Prep Time:20 min
Start to Finish:1 hr
makes:12 servings

Crust
1 package regular active dry yeast
3/4 cup warm water (105°F to 115°F)
2 cups Gold Medal® whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon cornmeal
Topping
3/4 cup Muir Glen® organic pizza sauce (from 15-oz can)
1 cup shredded reduced-fat mozzarella cheese (4 oz)
1 cup shredded cooked chicken breast
2 medium plum (Roma) tomatoes, thinly sliced
1/4 cup pitted kalamata olives, halved
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese (2 oz)
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves

1. In medium bowl, dissolve yeast in warm water. Stir in flour, sugar, salt and oil. Stir with fork until dough forms. Turn dough onto lightly floured surface; knead 12 times. Return to bowl. Cover; let rest 20 minutes.
2. Heat oven to 425°F. Spray large cookie sheet with cooking spray; sprinkle with the cornmeal. Gently push fist into dough to deflate. Spray hands with cooking spray; press dough into 15x10-inch rectangle on cookie sheet.
3. Bake 8 minutes. Spread pizza sauce over partially baked crust to within 1/2 inch of edge. Top with mozzarella cheese, chicken, tomatoes, olives and feta cheese.
4. Bake 10 to 15 minutes longer, or until cheese is melted and edges of crust are golden brown. Sprinkle with basil.
