We just did one last night!. We make the dough in the bead machine (but you can do it by hand)!. We use 1 c of whole wheat flour and 2 c of regular all purpose flour!. We made a bbq chicken pizza, so make your own bbq sauce (not hard) and add sauteed onion and green pepper, grilled chicken, and reduced fat mozzarella and cheddar or cojack cheese!. Delish!Www@FoodAQ@Com
If you are short on time or don't want to make your own crust, FlatOut Light bread (www!.flatoutbread!.com) makes a great thin, healthy crust that's large and filling, but has 9 grams of dietary fiber and only 90 calories and comes in several great flavors!. I bake one FlatOut at 350o for 7-8 minutes or until crispy, then add sliced tomatoes, cooked portabella mushrooms, fresh basil, and some reduced fat mozzarella cheese (I add sauce later since I've found it makes the crust softer and less crispy than I like) and broil it for a minute or two!. Once it's ready, I drizzle some marinara and add grated romano cheese, and voilá!Www@FoodAQ@Com
I used to make a quick and simple bachelor's version of whole wheat dough!. Just mix ww flour with water, put in a little oil and you can add some yeast if you like!.
You can microwave it or put it in the oven!. Then, just make some simple sauce with tomato sauce and toppings!.
I'm sure you can modify it to make it better, but mine wasn't too bad!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

If there's a trader joes near you, they sell whole wheat pizza dough, and the sauce too!. This sounds crazy but have you ever tried the Lean Pockets (like Hot Pockets only healthier)!?!? They have a pizza one that's pretty darn good and a lot less fat and calories than pizza!!Www@FoodAQ@Com
