I got some new WW cookbooks recently and have enjoyed trying out some new recipes. I was excited to try this homemade pizza from the WW Comfort Classics cookbook! Don't try comparing it to pizza that you order - it's totally different. It tastes light and healthy, but yummy. You could certainly add more spices to the sauce or while cooking the vegetables and add on whatever vegetables you like. I would also like to try this with Canadian Bacon instead of the turkey pepperoni.
Four-Cheese Pepperoni-Vegetable Pizza
1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
8 oz. white mushrooms, thinly sliced
1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
1 pound refrigerated or thawed frozen pizza dough, at room temp
3/4 cup fat-free marinara sauce
1 1/2 cups shredded reduced-fat Italian four-cheese blend
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
36 slices turkey pepperoni
1. Adjust oven racks to divide oven in thirds and preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Spray a 10 1/2x15 1/2 - in. jelly-roll pan with nonstick spray.
2. Spray a large nonstick skillet with nonstick spray and set over med-hi heat. Add onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender and the liquid has evaporated, 8-10 minutes. Stir in the tomatoes and cook 1 minute.
3. With floured hands, press the dough over the bottom of the prepared pan. If the dough shrinks back, let it rest a few minutes before pressing again. Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the dough. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup of the cheese blend and 1 tablespoon of the Parmesan. Top evenly with onion mixture and pepperoni.
4. Bake on lowest oven rack until crust is browned on the bottom, 12-15 minutes. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 cup shredded cheese blend and 1 tablespoon Parmesan. Bake until the cheese melts, 4-5 minutes longer.

That looks amazing and the new look on the blog is awesome!
ReplyDeleteOkay, I have to try this! It sounds (and looks!) absolutely amazing.
ReplyDeleteWe love broccoli as a pizza topping, And I usually use shredded chicken (tossed w/ Italian seasonings and garlic powder) as the meat instead of pepperoni. Not sure if that would make a huge difference since you're already using turkey pepperoni.
