Good, healthy pizza recipe?!
Answers: hey thre, so i am addicted to pizza, i'm on my health food thing currently, so i'm giving up all fast foods, that includes pizza, i was wondering, does anybody have any good recipes for dough, sauce, and that good stuff that's realitively healthy?
Pitta bread
Tomato or Tomato Puree
Grated cheese
Under the grill for a couple of minutes and et voila! Healthy pizza.
at wal-mart theres this dough thing you can buy that comes with sauce and then you add your choice to it.
you can sometimes find whole wheat pizza dough at gourmet grocers. otherwise you could use a whole wheat pita. tomatoe sauce is good for you, lots of lycopene. top with some part skim mozzerella and a drizzle of EVOO. bake til chesse is melted. You can use all types of veggies. try spincach, onions, artichoke hearts, peppers, olives. you can also add chicken breast and canadian bacon is also fairly healthy. i won't lie, the pita won't taste as good as a real pizza dough, but its a good healthy alternative.
