On my carb refeed day, I make my own pizza and cook it on a pizza stone in the oven.
The dough is as follows:
- emply 1 packet yeast in 1 cup of warm water with a dash of sugar and let sit while yeast activates.
- While waiting, pulse 2.75 cups of bread flour and 1 tspn salt in a food processor until blended.
- Gradually pour in yeast water and 1.5 tbsp of EVOO into flour mixture pulsing until it forms dough
- knead dough on floured surface for a minute or two, place in a bowl lightly greased with EVOO and place in a warm area to rise for 40 minutes.
- punch dough down and knead dough on floured surface for a few minutes, place back in bowl and let rise for another 40 minutes.
- toss or roll dough out on a floured surface, cover with pizza sauce, low-fat or fat-free cheese and topping of choice (I usually go with onions, peppers and mushrooms, maybe turkey sausage if I want a little protein)
- as for pizza sauce, if I am lazy I will just use any old pasta sauce. Otherwise, I simmer crushed tomatoes with a little garlic, EVOO, salt, pepper and oregano
Its good stuff.
