Homemade Pizza
Posted on April 29th, 2007 3:25 pm
I had a craving and made pizza today. It came out so pretty I thought I’d share. :)
You can, of course, replace the veggie toppings with your favorites, this is just what I had on hand. Man, I wish my herb garden was ready. Some fresh basil would have been delish!
- Whole Wheat pizza dough (1lb) (I use Trader Joes brand)
- About ¾ cup of sauce (I use homemade)
- 2oz Mozzarella Cheese seperated
- 1oz fancy shredded mexican cheese blend (or just cheddar)
- 1 cup raw broccoli florets chopped
- 1 small tomato diced
- Ground black pepper
Preheat coven to 425 degrees
Prepare dough as instructed.
I place the dough on a pizza stone lined with aluminum foil sprayed with non-stick cooking spray because I always have problem with sticking crust. If you don’t have a stone, I’ve also formed the dough in a sprayed cookie sheet with good results.
Smear sauce on raw dough, top with 1oz mozzarella and 1oz Mexican cheese blend. Add the on broccoli, tomato and then top with the remaining 1oz moz cheese. Sprinkle with fresh ground black pepper.
Bake for about 10 minutes, cheese should bubble.
The Trader Joe’s dough is awesome! 2 points a slice for the dough. With controlling the amount of cheese my whole pizza is only about 25 points. I think?!? If you make 8 slices that’s only 3 points a slice!

We just tried this dough this weekend! It is so good and so cheap! I’m finally getting my husband on board with Trader Joes:)

@July - It’s in the fridge section. Just ask! They are super helpful there!

Has anyone seen a similar dough at Whole Foods? We don’t have TJ’s here (blah!), and I really want to try this! I couldn’t find any pizza dough there though..

Hi Roni,
Re. problems with crust sticking: have you ever tried using parchment paper? This stuff is a little miracle. NOTHING sticks to it. I use it when baking or broiling just about anything. The only drawback is that you can’t use it at a temperature higher than 425 degrees.
Just a suggestion!
