Pizza

Growing up, my mom always made her own pizza dough for our family's pizza night. Once I made it myself and calculated the points, I realized what a healthy alternative this was!

Dough:
  • 2 tablespoons of yeast
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 cups warm water
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  1. Put yeast, sugar and warm water into mixing bowl, and let sit for about 10 minutes.
  2. Add flour and olive oil, then mix until the dough is smooth.
  3. Let the dough rise for about an hour.
For toppings:
  • 1.5 cups pizza sauce
  • 3 cups part-skim mozzarella cheese
  • Additional toppings, like vegetables, turkey pepperoni, etc.
  1. Roll out the dough into 3 pizzas. Top each pizza with 1/2 cup of pizza sauce and 1 cup of cheese.
  2. Add additional toppings as desired. Bake at 350 until the crust looks slightly browned and the cheese is melted. Cut each pizza into 8 slices.
This makes roughly 24 slices of pizza. With just veggie and cheese toppings, each slice is only 3Points Plus. Additional toppings will affect this value.
