Supremely Supreme Pizza

hi I make my pizza on a multi grain pita, cut in half and make it round, can eat the whole thing with 2oz chicken, part skim mozzarella cheese, 3T classico tom and basil sauce, 1/4c green pepper, 1/2 small zucchini, 2 mushrooms. 372 calories for the whole thing, 29.5 gm protein, 8.2gm fat, 6gm fiber, 39 carbs. sautee veggies first, spray a pan put the pitas on, then sauce, then cheese, then veggies and top with chicken, it is so so yummy.

If you don't have time to make your own, you may want to check out the Red Baron FRENCH BREAD singles. The french bread crust has less fat that regular pizza crust. The sodium is somewhat high, but if you take it easy on other things that day, it is doable. They have a Canadian Bacon and Pineapple, and Garlic Chicken with while sauce and a Supreme. They aren't available in every store, but Walmart carries them. They are all in the food data base, so you can see the calories, etc. for yourself.

Whole wheat crust, (Walden Farms) tomato sauce, 1 container/2 cups of (HOOD) non fat or low fat cottage cheese.

Does the cottage cheese melt? I used to make pizzas with ricotta when I worked at a pizza place, and it's so creamy and delicious. I imagine the cottage cheese is similar?

If you're really ambitious, you can make your own crust. This recipe is from another post.....I've made it and it made a huge pizza for my husband and I. Unfortunately I can't remember the calorie count, but I remember it was incredibly low - especially for pizza crust. And it was DELICIOUS!!!! Just takes some time, but it's totally worth it and then you know exactly what's going into your pizza:

1 1/4 cup water
1 packet of yeast
1 tsp sugar (or sucanet or honey or agave)
random herbs (optional)
3/4 tsp salt (or garlic salt)
aprox 3 1/8 cups whole wheat flour (but the exact amount will vary)

1. Let the tap water heat up, and then pour 1 1/4 cup war,/hot water into a large bowl. To this, add the packet of yeast and the sweetener (yeast will need a little of the sweetener to really get going). Cover with a hand towel and let sit for 5 minutes.

2. Add in 1 cup whole wheat flour, the salt, and if wanted, another tsp of sweetener, as well as any herbs you want to toss in (the specifics vary for me depending on what I have on hand and what I feel like). Gently mix this up and then cover with towel for 30 minutes.

3. Little by little, stir in the flour until a spoon won't stir it - then turn out on a floured surface and slowly add more flour in, kneading as you go. The goal is to get a soft, pliable dough that does not stick. I kept track of the amount of flour I used last time I made this (so as to calculate the calories), and counting the 1 cup of starter flour, it shouldn't be much more than 3 cups total used.

4. When done kneading (about 10 minutes or so), divide dough into two sections... roll gently to elongate them a little (but do not pull to do so). Place two small dough loaves into greased loaf pans (or can place both on a greased cookie sheet for a more unformed look). Cover with a towel and let rise 45 minutes.

5. While bread is rising, pre-heat oven to 375 F. At the end of 45 minute rising, pop both loaves into the oven and bake for 40 minutes.

This recipe is for 2 small loaves of bread, but, like I said, I made one large pizza crust.

I've used mini bagels, english muffins, naan bread as crust and then ragu pizza sauce with alot of veggies.. I had one on naan bread the other night the naan bread becomes like a thin slightly crispy crust...mmmm

You should give it a try - I looooooove cottage cheese. I usually just add a little black pepper. If you buy the low or non-fat kind, it's a great source of protein!

I actually couldn't finish my pizza because the cottage cheese was so tasty that I ate 1/2 cup of it alone while I the pizza was cooking. I LOVE cottage cheese - plain, with fruit, on salad, just about any way you could eat it.

I found a pre-packaged pizza today that's actually pretty darn good in terms of calories and whatnot - It is the Archer Farms (a Target brand) "Simply Balanced Mediterranean Style Vegetable Thin Crust Pizza." It's a very thin wheat crust topped with tomatoes, onions, spinach and feta cheese, tossed with a little olive oil. It's definitely not a "normal" pizza (not much cheese or sauce on it) but I found it quite tasty and filling. Best of all, it is only 220 cal. for 1/2 the pizza! That's 7g fat (1.5g sat. fat), 2g sugar, 270mg sodium, 34g carbs (11g of whole grain), 3g fiber, 7g of protein.

Wow! Those are some great stats on that pizza! Was it a normal size pizza? Because 1/2 a pizza is a really big portion. I usually get the pizzas that have a serving size of 1/4 or 1/5 and eat it with corn or salad. I got two pizzas at Target this weekend, but I can't remember exactly what type. They definitely weren't -that- low in calories though! Good find!
