    There is not such thing as "healthy food." Only your overall diet and eating habits can be considered healthy or unhealthy.
    it's called junk food for a reason

    Maybe that's what *you* call it. To me heroin is junk, and pizza is food.

    I make my own pizza since i found a super healthy recipe that makes a 12" inch pizza with a very crunchy crust without any grease... a margherita could be around 500-650 cals if i make it with my recipe (using moderate amounts low fat fresh mozzarella)
    While any other pizza of that size from any other chainr estaurant could have more than 1000 calories, lots of fats and sodium etc...

    Do share!

    If my options are only homemade or dominos... I would make my own, but that's only because mine is much better than Dominos, now if we are talking pizza from my local pizza place that's a different story

    So you would argue that 100 calories of salad is no healthier than 100 calories of cheetos?

    I'm going out for pizza tonight with the boyfriend before we hit the cinema. Half of a medium traditional pepperoni pizza - GET IN MY BELLY. :drinker: I have just planned for it and made room for the calories within my daily budget.

    "healthier" on an individual level is determined by total diet, not one meal.

    I put a lot of veggies on my pizza and use reduced fat cheese and make the crust very thin. This lets me eat more pizza, meet my veggie servings and still enjoy pizza.

    But, I also sometimes get takeout, which usually puts me over on calories and has little veggies, but is easier and sometimes easy wins.

    Oh you can argue "healthy food" vs. "healthy diet" all day long. They are very different things.

    3/4 tsp active dry rapidrise yeast
    3/4 tsp sugar
    1/4 tsp salt
    2/3 cup lukewarm water (120-130º)

    Mix all dry ingredients then gradually stir in flour, if using a mixer, beat until it form a soft dough if by hand too but it will take longer, then let rest until doubled in size, stretch by hand or with a rolling pin.

    Makes 2 very thin crust 10" - 12"inch pizzas

    Thanks! How long does it have to stand typically? I've never made pizza in my life...

    I make a super simple and fast pizza at home which I find is both cheaper and tastes better than anything from a pizza joint. I use premade pita loaves for the crust (about 8-10") I get from a local bakery, 1 oz mozzarella, and 2 tbs tomato paste mixed with 2 tbs water and the spices I like best for the sauce (lots of garlic and fresh basil please!) It's a snap, toppings are often leftovers from previous dinners, and I don't even have to make the dough. Comes up to somewhere between 350-450 cals/ single serving pizza-depending upon the toppings you choose. Add a salad and you got a meal :)

    Don't get me wrong, though. I do like making pizza dough, and yeast bread in general, but it takes extra time, and often I'm in a hurry to get out of the kitchen. The less time I spend in there, the happier I am.

    :happy: To each his own! Frankly, the globs of grease glimmering in that pic make me feel a little :sick:
