| 3 cups Whole wheat flour | |||||||
| 1 tsp. Iodized Salt | |||||||
| 1 T. Sugar | |||||||
| 1 T. Bertolli Extra Light Olive Oil | |||||||
| 1 pkg. (2 1/4 tsp.) Fleischmann's - Pizza Crust Yeast | |||||||
| 1 cup warm water a little cornmeal Add salt, sugar, oil and yeast to warm water. Let set 5 min. Stir. Add flour. Knead dough 3-5 minutes. Cover with a towel and let rise 1/2 hour or more. Roll out dough. Place on stoneware pan sprinkled with corn meal. I pre-bake for 5 minutes @ 425 before adding my toppings but you don't have to. (At this point, you can let the slices cool and then add them to freezer bags marked "Whole Wheat Pizza Crust 116 calories each". I cut pieces of wax paper and put between each slice. Put them in your freezer to be pulled out and put in the toaster oven when you want a slice of pizza for lunch without the temptation of the eating the entire pizza.) After adding your toppings to the pre-baked crust, bake an additional 10 minutes-ish. ;) Cut into 12 slices for 116 calories each! * If you decide to use 1 1/2 cups white flour and 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, you will increase the calories to 122 calories for 1/12th of the crust. You may have better luck getting your family to eat it that way though. ;) I got this recipe from my friend, Joan, but I've tweaked it a little to personalize it. Personalizing a recipe is something I love to do! |
I believe that the closer our food is to the way God created it, the healthier it is. I use real sugar and avoid artificial sweeteners. I eat my fruit and vegetables raw as often as possible. I eat my cooked meats well done. I try to limit the amount of junk food I eat. When I over indulge, I don't feel too guilty and I get to start fresh the next day. As long as there is tomorrow, there is a second chance to do better than the day before. It's important that we all try and not give up.
