My family LOVES home-made pizza. The problem is, even home-made pizza is quite high in calories and fat. I went on a mission to find a great, healthy substitute that my family would LOVE!!! This is tried and true and yes, the family LOVES it! I am writing this the way I make it for myself, I also have the traditional toppings available so everyone can make what they like.
Pita Pizzas (written for 1 serving)
1 Whole grain Flat Out
(I prefer Flat Out Wraps for myself, pita for kids)
Pizza sauce
Pesto sauce
Various Vegetable toppings such as:
Baby Spinach Leaves
Onions
Roma Tomatoes (sliced)
Mushrooms (sliced)
Roasted Red Peppers (diced)
1/4 C. Gorgonzola Cheese
(if you prefer other cheese, use that)
Directions:
Pre-heat oven to 350'. If using Flat bread, place flat bread on cookie sheet and spray lightly with olive oil cooking spray (skip this step for pitas). Bake for 4-5 minutes, just long enough to make it slightly crisp. Remove from oven and turn the flat bread over. Spread about 1 tsp pizza sauce and 1 T pesto sauce around on the flat bread. Top the sauce with whatever vegetables you like, then sprinkle with cheese.
Place in oven for 8-10 minutes until cheese is melted and toppings are hot. Slice and enjoy!
*This pizza version will vary in calories and fat, depending on what you use for toppings and if you use flat bread or pitas.*
As written, using Flat Out Wraps, it is approx. 200 calories for the whole pizza.
This is one pizza you can eat without guilt!!!
