I need Healthy Pizza recipes

I can't recommend specific pizza bases as I am on the other side of the planet to you! But I can recommend a yummy topping- my favourite combo is mushroom, zucchini and potato with pesto in place of tomato paste/sauce. I also add a bit of feta and some garlic sauce if I'm feeling a bit fancy. I slice the zucchini and potato with a v-slicer so they're very thin. You don't need much spud.

When I make pizza for the boyfriend it generally has shredded roast chicken, capsicum, onion, tomato, pineapple, olives, mushroom and any other veg lurking in the fridge. Lots of veggies = more filling/better for you. Basically you can't go wrong with stacks of veggies and a bit less cheese. Experiment and have some fun with it

My wife and I regularly make our own pizza from scratch.

Crust:
1 cup lukewarm milk or water
1/4 cup melted butter (4 tbsp)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sugar
1 package dry yeast, combined with 1/4 cup warm water (about 110 degrees F) until dissolved
About 3-1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour

1. in an 8 or 9 inch bowl, combine the lukewarm water or milk, melted butter, salt, and sugar and blend well.
2. Add the dissolved yeast, mix, then add the flour about 1 cup at a time, beating after each addition with a long, leavy wooden spool until smooth.
3. When the mixture gets too stiff to beat, turn out onto a floured surface, add more flour if the dough is very sticky, and knead for several minutes (adding flour as necessary) until the dough is not too soft and not too stiff.
4. Split dough in half and knead each into a ball. Place the balls on a floured flat pan , lightly brush the top with oil, cover with waxed paper and let rise for 20 minutes (dough should about double in size)
5. Roll each piece to fit a pizza pan (12 to 14 inches) and let dough rest for about 20 minutes. 12" gives you a thicker crust (not really deep dish, but thicker than your standard slice), and 14" is more along the lines of your standard delivery pizza from a decent restaurant.

The crust on it's own is 115 calories per slice, assuming you split it evenly and cut each pie into 8 slices.

Once the crust is done:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F
2. Add your sauce, toppings, and cheese, then bake for about 25 minutes or until done.

Top the pizza as desired. Our sauce is a variant of the Moosewood Cookbook Italian Tomato Sauce (for pizza sauce I use crushed tomatoes rather than whole peeled), but any smooth sauce works. We tend to use about 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 cups part skim Mozzarella cheese and generally do one meat pizza and one veggie pizza. Some of our favorite toppings are:

Italian Turkey Sausage (regular or hot)
Turkey pepperoni
Skinless garlic and spinach chicken sausage
Green peppers
Red onions
Fresh spinach
Mushrooms
Broccoli

Generally with these toppings, there are about 180 - 250 calories per slice (depending on quantity of each of the toppings used). Two slices is nice and filling, and then we have a couple of days worth of lunches too.

The best part is that we control the ingredients and know exactly what we are putting into it, and can make it as light or as heavy as we want.

my favorite is to take a large portabello mushroom, stem side up with the stem cut off, find a marinara sauce you like, your favorite low fat cheese, and what ever toppings you want bake for about 30 - 40 minutes.

I like tortillas for making personal pizzas. I've seen the cauliflower pizza crust and would love to try it, but just haven't yet so I can't really recommend it. As far as toppings go, I like marinara (made by me or a natural one), peppers (any color), onion, olives, and broccoli. I know it sounds weird, but it just works. Oh and cheese of course.

I tried making a Cauliflower crust pizza once. It didn't turn out perfectly lol. It tasted amazing but the crust was too moist and crumbly.

Yea I have never heard anyone who has had luck with the cauliflower thing.

I LOVE pizza, and in order to get my fix I usually make individual tortilla pizzas. I like using:

low carb tortillas- 60 calories
pizza sauce- 30 calories
1-1.5 servings of mozzarella cheese- 80-120
Chicken or turkey pepperoni- 50 calories
Italian seasoning and oregano

So the whole pizza is about 220-260 calories, depending on how much cheese you use. I put it in the oven at 375 for 10 minutes and my meal is done. The whole thing from start to finish only takes 15 minutes. When you want pizza, but don't want the calories this will help you get your fix.

This sounds awesome! Will be trying it this evening :-)

This sounds delicious! I'm going to make some of these this week. Thanks!
