Need light homemade pizza recipe

It's all in the toppings. Use veggies instead of pepperoni or sausage. Measure out your cheese so you're mindful about how many calories are going on top...but for the love of pizza DO NOT use fat free cheese! That stuff doesn't melt and tastes of plastic, not even worth the experience. As for the crust, the cauliflower recipes aren't bad, but very flimsy. Just stick to a normal dough recipe and spread it thin. To recap... thin crust veggie pizzas are the way to go.

I disagree that it's in teh toppings - use a thinner base, or explore caulflower crusts, or versions using a flat out or wrap as a base.

Yes pepperoni etc is high in cals, but you use so little of it on a pizza.

I would avoid cauliflower base if I were you. It's nasty.

I would use a whole wheat thin pizza crust....... or...... individual flat pita wraps for each person and bake it that way.

I usually throw chicken sausage, fat free cheese, serving of turkey pepperoni, and some spinach on mine. Along with a light alfredo sauce (hate red sauce)

I would avoid cauliflower base if I were you. It's nasty.

Tastes vary. I LOVE it! Except mine had too much liquid (probably from too much sauce...) so it wasn't as crisp as I would have preferred. Everyone enjoys different things, and I certainly preferred the cauliflower. ^_^ You're just a hater. :grumble:

I like baking English muffin pizzas using the Thomas' Lite multigrain (they're 100 cals a piece so 50 cals per pizza), a little pizza sauce, measure out the cheese (I use part skim mozzerella, not fat free cuz its gross) and 2 or 3 slices pepperoni or ham and pineapple chunks for mini hawaiian pizzas, you can also add whatver veggies or toppings just plug it into the MFP recipe tool and you can tweak the calories with the ingredients/toppings you choose.

I have also created a white pizza: Zuchini cut lengthwize, broil for a few minutes, take it out and spread vegetable or herb flavored light cream cheese on it, sprinkle with the part skim mozz and add yellow peppers and onions, broil again until cheese is melted and a little browned. I've also made it with spinach and artichoke on it, mmmm.

I make yeast dough using bread flour (extra gluten!) and stretch it out really thin. Spaghetti sauce very sparingly, fresh bell pepper, onion, super-lean ground beef, mushrooms, black olives and just enough cheese to keep the toppings from falling off. I like colby-jack but YMMV.

Then I bake it and only eat two slices with a fresh garden salad and minimal dressing. Really, it's all in portion control anyway. Make it so it tastes awesome or don't bother.

Try making a pizza on a tortilla. We call them pizza quesadillas. Lightly toast the tortilla in the oven, then add any toppings you want and bake at 375 for 5-10 minutes.
