Homemade Healthy Pizza
- 1/2 cups Warm Water
- 1/4 ounces, weight Dry Active Yeast
- 1/2 cups Whole Wheat Flour
- 1/2 cups Tomato Juice
- 4 Tablespoons Fresh Chopped Chives, Divided In Half
- 2 Tablespoons Fresh Chopped Rosemary
- 1/4 teaspoons White Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
- 1- 1/2 cup All-purpose Flour
- 1 cup Pizza Sauce Or Tomato Sauce
- 1- 1/2 cup Skim Mozzarella Cheese
- 4 ounces, weight Canned Sliced Black Olives
- 1 whole Plum Tomato, Sliced Thin
- To prepare the dough:
- Dissolve yeast in warm water.
- Add the wheat flour, tomato juice, half of the chopped chives, rosemary, white pepper, and olive oil; mix well.
- Gradually add all-purpose flour as it works into the dough.
- Once all the flour is mixed in, place dough on a lightly floured surface and knead it for about 5 minutes, until it is smooth and elastic.
- Let it rise, preferably in a warm place, for 45-60 minutes.
- Once it has doubled in size, punch down into a pizza pan and spread out to desired shape and thickness.
- Now, to dress it up, top with whatever you prefer.
- Sauce, cheese, and the good stuff!
- In this recipe, I use tomatoes, olives, and the remaining chives.
- Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes at 425 degrees, until cheese is melted and turning golden brown.
- Variations:
- For a Margarita Pizza, omit chives and rosemary, and substitute in chopped basil leaves in the dough.
- Add fresh sliced mozzarella cheese with fresh sliced tomatoes and basil on top.
- For a Mexican Fiesta Pizza, omit the rosemary.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon chili powder and 1/4 teaspoon cumin to the dough.
- Still use the chives!
- Substitute skim Mexican cheese for mozzarella on top, and top with sauteed onions and peppers.
- You cant go wrong with any variation of this delicious, HEALTHY, homemade pizza!
