I'm craving pizza, but it's high in fat. I've looked at every pizza in the frozen food isle and they're all so fattening. I've tried a couple diet pizzas, and they tasted like cardboard. So, I've decided to make my own. I know to use lowfat cheese, but I'm not sure how to make the crust. Any suggestions will be appreciated!|||you could do mini ones on english muffins
You could try pita bread|||If you go to the Whole Foods website - they have a recipe section. Also, try Cooking Light for healthy recipes.
Good luck.|||To be honest, to make a pizza, I will quite often use bread. Whatever kind you have is usually good, but I tend to use the high fiber breads. I put some sauce, some cheese and maybe some pepperoni or ham or sausage or whatever I have. Bake it in the oven for a little while and when the cheese melts and the bread toasts up, it is great. Rachel Ray made some on the food network show as well with french Baguette, which looked a lot like a Stouffer's french bread pizza!|||I have not tried these, but here is my link list

All you need is flour, yeast, salt and water. you mix those ingredients let the dough rise in a warm place then pat it down roll it out put your sauce on and your topping or you can always go for the ready made pizza dough which is pretty healthy and add your own sauce and toppings. But if you want really good receipes go to food network.com they have everything there!|||if you have a breadmaker, you can make the dough and put it on a pan and cook it. if not, buy a pizza crust from the store and put your toppings on yourself. for the crust in the breadmaker, bake it in your oven on 375* farenheit for 10 mins, then add your pizza sauce, maybe a light sauce, then add some of your favorite meat, maybe ham or pepperoni, but stay away from fried meats or bacon. if you want, put some of your favorite vegetables on and then sprinkle the lowfat cheese on top, bake it for another 10 mins on 375*F and wait until the cheese starts bubbling. this should ensure that the cheese is not stringy and the toppings go flying off. maybe try a nonstick pan or a nonstick spray because it might burn on the bottom.
hope that helps!

Wholemeal baps or large rolls provide the perfect, ready-made base for these healthy mini pizzas. They are quick and easy to make - as a filling snack with a tossed green salad, or for a party
4 wholemeal baps
1 clove garlic
1oz (25g) butter or sunflower margarine
1 tbsp chopped parsley
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 large beef tomatoes
2 tsp mixed dried herbs
4oz (115g) grated Mozzarella cheese
8 black olives
2oz (50g) can anchovy fillets
2 tbsp chopped chives
Cut each bap in half and place on a large grill rack with the cut sides uppermost. Crush the garlic and blend the butter or margarine and parsley together with the garlic, then season with salt and pepper. Spread the mixture over each bap.
Cut 8 large, round slices from the tomatoes and place a slice on each bap. Season lightly and sprinkle with the herbs, then the cheese.
Cook the pizzas under a hot grill, until the cheese melts and browns slightly. Halve and stone the olives and use them to top the pizzas along with thin strips of anchovy fillets. Sprinkle with chives and serve immediately.
