Categories     Main Course

Time 14m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2/3 cup self rising flour
2/3 cup plain Greek yogurt (non-fat)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon Italian seasonings
1/4 cup tomato sauce
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasonings
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar substitute
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup fat free mozzarella cheese (divided)
1/4 cup Pepperoni (reduced fat or Turkey pepperoni)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200C/400F. Line a large baking sheet or pizza tray with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, add the flour and yogurt and mix until combined. Add the salt and Italian seasonings and shape into a smooth ball of dough.
  • Lightly flour a kitchen surface. Transfer the ball of dough on top and place a sheet of parchment paper on top. Use a rolling pin to roll it out into 1/4 inch of thickness. Transfer the dough onto the lined sheet or tray.
  • In a small ball, whisk together the sauce ingredients until smooth.
  • Spread the sauce over the pizza crust. Add half the shredded cheese, followed by the pepperoni, then the remaining cheese.
  • Transfer the pizza into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese has melted and the crust is golden. Remove the pizza from the oven and slice into eight slices.

CHEESE PIZZA



Cheese Pizza image

This plain pie tastes anything but basic. Start with my homemade pizza dough and marinara sauce recipes, so you can make this plus many more pizzas. I put the cheese down first to protect the dough from getting soggy from the sauce.

Time 2h15m

Yield 1 pizza

Number Of Ingredients 7

All-purpose flour, for the surface
One 6-ounce ball pizza dough, at room temperature
3 to 4 ounces low-moisture mozzarella, sliced
1 tablespoon Sicilian (or regular dried) oregano (see Cook's Note)
1/2 cup marinara sauce, at room temperature
Olive oil, for topping, optional
Freshly grated Parmesan, for topping, optional

Steps:

  • Place a pizza stone in the center rack of the oven. Preheat the oven to 475 degrees F for 1 to 2 hours before you're ready to bake the pizza to get the stone nice and hot.
  • Generously sprinkle a flat work surface with flour. Use a rolling pin to stretch the dough into an 11-inch circle. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured pizza peel or unrimmed baking sheet so it can slide right onto the pizza stone in the oven. (I use the bottom of a baking sheet.)
  • Top with the mozzarella, sprinkle with the oregano, then gently spread the marinara sauce on top, leaving about a 1/2-inch border around the edges for the crust (my favorite part!).
  • Turn off the oven and turn on the broiler. Use the peel or baking sheet to slide the pizza onto the pizza stone. The heat from the stone will cook the bottom of the pizza and the boiler will char and cook the top, mimicking a Neapolitan pizza oven. Bake until the cheese is melted and the crust is evenly crisped, 5 to 6 minutes. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan if desired. Slice the hot pizza and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose a healthy pizza crust: Opt for a whole-wheat or cauliflower crust instead of a traditional white flour crust. These alternatives are lower in calories and carbohydrates, and higher in fiber.
  • Use low-fat cheese: Mozzarella is a classic pizza cheese, but it's also high in fat and calories. Try using a low-fat or part-skim mozzarella instead, or a blend of mozzarella and Parmesan.
  • Load up on veggies: Vegetables are packed with nutrients and low in calories. Add as many veggies to your pizza as you can, such as bell peppers, onions, mushrooms, spinach, and tomatoes.
  • Go easy on the meat: Meat toppings can add a lot of calories and fat to your pizza. If you're using meat, choose lean options like grilled chicken or turkey, and use it sparingly.
  • Make your own pizza sauce: Store-bought pizza sauce can be high in sugar and sodium. Making your own sauce is easy and allows you to control the ingredients.
  • Don't overdo the cheese: While cheese is a delicious part of pizza, it's also high in calories and fat. Use just enough cheese to give your pizza flavor, but don't pile it on.
  • Bake your pizza at a high temperature: This will help the crust get crispy and prevent the cheese from becoming greasy.

Conclusion:

Making healthier pizza at home is easy with a few simple swaps. By choosing a healthier crust, using low-fat cheese, loading up on veggies, going easy on the meat, making your own pizza sauce, and using just enough cheese, you can create a delicious pizza that's also good for you.

Here are some additional tips for making healthier pizza:

  • Use whole wheat or cauliflower tortillas as a pizza crust.
  • Top your pizza with grilled vegetables, lean protein, and fresh herbs.
  • Use a light Alfredo sauce or pesto instead of traditional pizza sauce.
  • Add a sprinkle of Parmesan or crumbled feta cheese instead of mozzarella.
  • Bake your pizza on a pizza stone or baking sheet for a crispy crust.

With a little creativity, you can easily make pizza that's both delicious and healthy.
