I am looking for some recipes for pizza but not wanting to use all my carbs for the day to have a slice or two. Anyone have suggestions on the type of pizza crust I can use/make?

    i use english muffins and make my own in the oven. I just broil them until the cheese melts and the muffin looks crunchy.

    This is a quick recipe for 1 large pizza or 2-3 minis. You may want to only make 1/2 for a smaller portion.

    Pizza Crust:
    1 Tbsp. active dry yeast
    1 cup warm water (105 to 115 degrees F.)
    1 tsp. sugar
    1 tsp. salt
    2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
    2 1/2 cups flour (whole wheat is healthiest!)

    Dissolve the yeast in the water
    Add the rest of the ingredients in and mix
    Dump onto a floured surface
    Knead into a smooth dough (five minutes or so)
    Add toppings
    Bake at 450 degrees F. on a pan or pizza stone for around 12-15 minutes until the crust looks crispy and lightly browned

    I use the Flatout bread (I prefer the light Italian herb one), just bake for a few minutes (5-7), then put on your toppings, and bake again until the cheese is melted.

    I looooove mini-pizzas on an English muffin. I slice the muffin in half so it's even thinner. Makes it really crispy and cuts calories and carbs.

    Not sure the carb content but the calories are reasonable. I split open a piece of pita bread (so that I have 2 circles) and spray with cooking spray. Then I cook at 400° for about 6 minutes. I take it out, add 2 TBSP of spaghetti sauce, 3 TBSP of fat free cottage cheese and whatever veggies (peppers, olives, onions) to each half of the pita. Then I place back in oven and continue to chookat 400° got another 9 - 11 minutes. Yummmmm :)

    It's usually around 150/ little pizza

    ^ cook at* not chookat

    This works the BEST for me. The craving goes away, I'm fully, and happy!

    I usually use whole wheat tortillas as crust- for low, low carbs though you should search the threads for "meatza". I think it's a paleo thing!

    I eat Lean Cuisine pizzas. They are delicious, low cal (compared to regular pizza) and they fill u up. They satisfy my pizza cravings and I still loose weight :)
