Notes:
This is an awesome, 100% whole wheat pizza crust that is absolutely delish, easy to make, and soooo good for you! I got the original recipe off of allrecipes.com and made some slight modifications to the directions. I use this recipe at least once a week. If you’re a pizza lover like me, you can now eat pizza without any guilt!
Servings: 12
Ingredients:
1 (.25 ounce) package active dry yeast
1 cup warm water
2 cups whole wheat flour
1/4 cup wheat germ
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon honey
2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a small mixing bowl, combine honey and warm water. Add yeast to top of the bowl and let it rest in a warm place until foamy, about ten minutes.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, wheat germ, and salt. Add yeast/honey mixture to flour and stir to combine until mixture forms a pliable ball. Oil the bottom of the bowl, making sure to coat the dough.
Cover bowl and put in a warm place until dough has risen to about double, or for 15-45 minutes.
Roll dough out onto pizza pan and pre-bake for 10-15 minutes.
Top pizza dough and put in oven an additional 5-10 minutes until cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve hot.
Notes:
Just because you are trying to eat healthy doesn’t mean you have to skip pizza, just make it at home. On ANYTHING! : ) I make pizza like crazy, I just make sure to make it healthier. Do you know how much sodium is in pizza/pasta sauce? Some have over 500mg in one TINY serving. If you get NO SALT ADDED sauce it usually cuts the sodium in half, with only natural sodium. It may not taste as sweet, that’s why you add the spices and garlic- it marinates in the sauce while cooking, giving it a really yummy flavor. Adding veggies like green/red pepper or spinach makes it even better for you! Sneak in that extra serving of veggies! Here is a good low cal lunch:
1 Pizza muffin cut in half = 2 mini pizzas 120cals
1/4 cup cheese = 80 cals
1 serving of sauce = 70 cals
ONLY 270 CALORIES! Then you can add:
1 serving of baby carrots - 30cals
1 Light N Fit Yogurt- 70 cals
= 370 CALORIES! You can even fit in a serving of nuts, or a 100 calorie pack for a small desert!
(Calories vary by which ‘wheat’ bread you choose, pitas, tortillas, and loaf are all diff. calories.)
Servings: 1
Ingredients:
(NO-SALT ADDED) pasta/pizza sauce (Pizza sauce is a great source of veggies if it's not LOADED with sodium!)
Low Moisture/Part Skim OR Fat free Mozzerella cheese
Oregeno, basil, garlic (for taste!)
Veggies: Green/Red pepper, spinach, etc.
Whole Wheat/Grain Version of any of the following: Pita, Tortilla, English Muffins, italian style loaf
Directions:
On any of the whole wheat breads, add 1 serving of pasta/pizza sauce, spread evenly.
I like to add the oregeno,basil, and garlic under the cheese to give the sauce more taste. (It kind of marinates while cooking)
1 Serving of cheese
Bake! (Usually 325 is perfect)
