Cook's notes

French Meadow makes a great whole grain spelt pizza crust. (certified United Mehadrin Kosher) If you cannot easily find it, Whole Foods or your local health food store can probably order it. Just make sure that you get the Whole Grain Spelt and not the White Country Sourdough also made by French Meadow.

When choosing a tomato sauce, make sure that it is low sodium and low sugar and that it does not have a preservatives or chemicals. For a half cup serving,it should not have more than 280 mg sodium or 5 g of sugars. I like Amy's low sodium Marinara (not kosher certified.) Also, I haven't tried it yet, but Whole Foods makes, under the 365 brand, Organic Fat free pasta sauce that looks pretty good. It has 8 g sugars, but according to the ingredients listed, they are not occurring from added sweeteners but rather from carrot powder. It is Circle U Kosher.

Most left over vegetables would make a great topping. Just slice them and spread around the pizza top before you bake. You can also top with sliced tofu hot dogs or canned, sliced olives.

Any leftover pizza can be eaten cold the next day or frozen. Thaw and toast on medium to enjoy again.

Ingredients

1 whole grain pizza crust
1/3 c pasta sauce
2-3 oz. shredded or thinly sliced mozzarella (optional)
1 c roasted vegetables or leftover cooked vegetables (optional)
2 sliced tofu hot dogs (Optional)
1/4 c canned chopped olives (optional)

Steps

• Assemble the pizza and place on wire rack in a non-preheated 425° oven or toaster oven. Cook until the cheese is melted, and toppings are hot, about 10 minutes.
