One Delicious Low Fat Pizza Margherita Recipes

MARGARITA PIZZA

Steps:

• In a medium bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt and whisk well.
• Add the yogurt and mix with a fork or spatula until well combined, it will look like small crumbles.
• Lightly dust flour on a work surface and remove dough from the bowl, knead the dough a few times until dough is tacky, but not sticky, about 20 turns (it should not leave dough on your hand when you pull away).
• Preheat oven to 450F. I like to use a pizza stone, and preheat the stone in the oven as well. If using a round pizza pan or sheet pan, spray with oil.
• Sprinkle a work surface and rolling pin with a little flour and roll the dough out into a large thin round or oval (or you can make 2 smaller pies).
• Lay the dough out onto the oiled nonstick pizza dish or sheet pan.
• Spread the sauce over the crust. Top with cheese and place the pan on the pizza stone, bake 10 to 12 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is cooked through.
• Transfer to a cutting board, top with basil and drizzle with olive oil, if desired. Slice the pie into 8 slices.

SIMPLE LOW-FAT MARGHERITA PIZZA

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450.
• In bowl, combine tomatoes, tomato paste and garlic, mix well.
• Spread tomato mixture over pizza crust, top with mozarella.
• Bake at 450 for 8-10 minutes or until cheese is melted. The original recipe calls for the basil to be added with the cheese, but personally, I like the freshness of the basil if you add it during the last minute of cooking, just so it wilts a little.

COULDN'T BE EASIER MARGHERITA PIZZA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Place cast iron skillet, that has been slightly brushed with olive oil, (or other heavy metaled oven proof pan) in oven for a few minutes to heat.
• Meanwhile, assemble pizza using tortilla as the base, top with tomatoes, garlic, cheese, basil leaves (can leave leaves whole, or julienne). I top with basil last because I love crispy basil. If you don't like basil this way, put under the cheese.
• Place tortilla in hot skillet. It should sizzle. Cook until done (mine takes about 8-10 minutes).
