All Natural Whole Wheat Flax Pizza


Crust Ingredients:
  • 2 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour
  • 2 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3 tablespoon of flaxseeds 
  • 2 tablespoon oregano
  • 2 tablespoon of basil
  • 1 minced garlic glove
  • 2 tablespoon of ideal sugar (honey if desired)
  • 3/4 to 1 cup of warm water
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Sauce: Francesco Rinaldi (Healthy Sauce) 
* Although, the regular version, Tomato, Garlic, and Onion Chunky Garden is suburb! 

Cheese: I use the Weight Watcher Three Cheese Italian Blend. However, you may use Fat-free Mozzarella. When I cooked with this type of cheese, it has a tendency to be rubbery. I despise the texture; therefore, I go for a happy medium of cheese; Weight Watchers brand ( 4.5 % fat). 

Toppings: I add spinach, onions, mushrooms, red pepper, green pepper, jalapeños, and for a protein kick: I added 1lbs of brown hamburger meat (96% fat free) seasoned with Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle along with some basil. 

Directions: Mix the dry ingredients. Next, add 3/4 of warm water and extra virgin oil. Stir until it forms a ball. If the dough is dry and flakey, add more water. The dough should be soft, not sticky. Kneed the dough on a floured surface for 3minutes. Bake for 350 for 15 minutes or until mostly firm. Next, add sauce, add part of the cheese, the toppings, and and topple it with the remanding cheese. 

Cook at 350 for additional 15 to 20 minutes or until cheese is melted.
