Adventures in Cooking

This morning I was finally at the end of my wits. I've been on a pretty strict diet for about three months now and I was dying for pizza. I invented a diet pizza. Mmmm.
Probably the first of many new inventions (and pizza combinations).

This one I like to call "Chicken Caesar Salad Pizza"
It was as good as I'd hoped.

I made a wheat crust with a recipe that I found online and modified to this:


Wheat Pizza Crust


2 1/4 c. Whole Wheat Four
1 tsp salt (I used Sea Salt)
1 c. warm water
1 Quarter ounce packet of Active Dry Yeast

Mix yeast and water in small bowl, in a larger bowl, combine salt and flour. Let yeast and water sit about 10 min and blend all together in the large bowl. Stretch crust to pan and poke with a fork and pre-bake 5-10 min before adding toppings.

The toppings for my pizza may sound a little iffy, but it was really good. For the sauce I had a light glaze of Caesar salad dressing, I didn't want too much because dressings are a bit fatty. Mozzarella next of course, followed by bits of grilled chicken and bacon and lots of veggies. Green onions, black and green olives, mushrooms, chunks of fresh tomatoes and spinach found their way onto my "super diet pizza", all topped off with more mozzarella and cheddar. Best part is that it was pretty filling as well. Worst part is with all the toppings that it took about a half hour to all bake together, being broiled for the last five min.

Whoever had the brainchild of inventing pizza is my hero.
Mmmm.

Side note:
Fresh tomatoes are in my future as well as zucchini.
Reason:
I have a super awesome landlord that is letting us put in a small garden.
(He'd probably let us have it as big as we want, but it would be too hard without the proper tools at my disposal)
