    Similar to the post above ^^ you can use a flatout (a huge tortilla/flat is only 90 cals) to make a thin crust type pizza. Top it with a bit of sauce, a handful or two of low fat mozzarella and then load it up with veggies. You can get a whole pizza (enough for 2 people) for under 350 cals!

    I think I know what I'm making for lunch today!! :tongue:

    I only use whole wheat, even though the recipe calls for about half all purpose. Makes two thin dough pizzas that will fit the average pizza pan in stores.

    I forgot to add that this dough freezes well. Take a ziplock out of the freezer and let it thaw for a couple of hours.

    I just made one. 2 weight watchers tortilla wraps, 1 tablespoon tomato purée, half a small onion, 40g pepper, 25g mushrooms and 15g grated Parmesan cheese.
    Pop in oven until cooked a voila! A pizza for only 320 calories.

    bump.....I want an easy crust recipe

    Fleischmann’s Pizza Crust .... 1 step ... easy

    1 3/4 - 2 1/4 cups of flour
    1 envelope Fleischmann’s® Pizza Yeast
    1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
    3/4 teaspoon salt
    2/3 cup of very warm water (120° to 130° F)
    3 tablespoons oil

    Combine 1 cup flour, undissolved yeast, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Add water and oil. Mix together until well blended; about 1 minute. Add ½ cup flour gradually until dough forms a ball. Add additional flour, if needed, to handle. Spoon dough out of bowl onto floured surface. Dough will be slightly sticky. Knead on floured surface. Knead until dough is smooth and elastic; about 4 minutes.
    Press dough out to fill greased pizza pan. Top as desired with pizza sauce, cheese and toppings. Bake on bottom oven rack at 425° for 12 to 15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and crust is brown.

    **** Use whole wheat flour if you like & roll the dough really thin. Toppings - turkey pepperoni is much lower in fat. Use less cheese. Add more veggies. Yum!

    I had that just last night. I make it using Flatout for the crust. I have yet to try turkey pepperoni so what I made last night was with regular old Hormel pepperoni, Classico pizza sauce, Publix 6-cheese Italian, and red onion.

    Bake the Flatout for 5 min at 350, then for 7 min after you put the toppings on.

    20 g fat (so yea, I need to try that turkey pep or leave it off and go for low-fat cheese)

    my secret here is a bit of a cheat. My main goal is, other than to eat something nutritious and in my macros, to know what I'm eating. I do this best by assembling a fake pizza from known quantities (in this case from Trader Joe's):

    1 organic whole wheat pizza
    1 spritz olive oil (I count it as 1/2 tab)
    1 fresh mozzarella stick
    2 tab organic garlic roasted tomato sauce
    (add veggies or whatever).

    nuke it for 30-40 sec to melt cheese, then toast in toaster oven to crisp up.

    I love this pizza!! It's from the Sonoma Diet.

    GREEK PIZZA

    12 inch wholemeal Italian Bread Shell (I used 1 wholemeal lebanese bread, as I was cooking only for one person)
    2 cups baby spinach
    8 ounces cooked & sliced chicken breast
    1/2 cup quarted cherry tomatoes
    1/3 cup low fat feta cheese, crumbled
    2 tablespoons pine nuts
    1/2 teaspoon dried oregano,crushed
    1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed

    Red Wine Vinaigrette

    2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
    1 tablespoon shallot, finely chopped
    11/2 teaspoon dijon mustard
    2 tablespoon olive oil
    1/8 teaspoon salt
    1/8 teaspoon pepper

    Preheat oven to 400F

    Place bread on baking tray. Top with spinach, chicken, tomatoes, cheese, nuts, oregano and rosemary. Drizzle viaigrette.

    Vinaigrette
    In a small bowl mix vinegar and shallot. Stand 5 mins. Whisk in mustard. Add oil in thin, steady stream, whisking constantly until combined. Whisk in salt and pepper. It can last in the fridge for up to 3 days, but let stand at room temperature for 30mins and then whisk.

    Bake in 400f 10 -15 mins

    When we've made pizza I've always cheated and bought the dough from the grocery store and rolled that out. It's usually in a mini-fridge near the bakery and they have a few favors of dough including whole wheat. A couple local places sell their dough too if you ask.

    But for common toppings for us are:

    broccoli florets,
    fresh tomatoes, sun dried tomatoes,
    garlic,
    chopped spinach (thawed from frozen works if you squeeze it dry it first),
    black olives (yuck for me but hubby likes them),
    cheese, BBQ sauce or red sauce or just olive oil,
    and maybe some pre-grilled chicken

    We found a flatbread by California Lavash at whole foods that we think beats the others like Flat Outs hands down. It makes a nice thin crispy crust. A sheet of it is approximately 8" x 14" and 140 calories. I can make one with turkey pepperoni, 4 tbs or less of Ragu pizza quick sauce, and 1/3 cup of part skim mozzarella for a total of 350 calories. Our kids love them and like making their own pizza.

    I have used wheat pita breads, wheat tortillas or those mini crusts from walmart that come 3 to a pack! Never tried anything homemade, just fast and convenient and calorie-friendly :smile: If you like some meat and similar to canadian bacon, I love to use turkey bacon!!! I have tried chicken alfredo pizza, cheese pizza, ground turkey instead of hamburger. I only make mini pizzas for each of us in my family to have our own so we can put what we want on them and so we have some portion control!!! I could never give up pizza!!!

    english muffin
    pizza sauce
    mozarella
    turkey pepperoni
    we make whatever toppings the kids wants and the adults as low cal as possible.The english muffin makes a nice crust.


    This is just what I was going to say, english muffins are perfect pizza crusts!

    I buy thin crust wheat crusts, turkey pepperoni, pizza sauce, low fat cheese, and add whatever veggies...I made one the other night and the whole thing was like 900 calories, about 120 calories a slice...I ate the WHOLE thing and didn't regret it.
