Asparagus & Tomato Pizza
There is no need to ever go out for pizza again!
This pizza is easy, quick, and so much healthier.
My mom found this pizza dough recipe from
"Mother Earth News." I like it because there
is no wait time for letting the dough rise. I made
this in 45 minutes.
Pizza Dough Ingredients:
* makes 1 cast iron skillet sized pizza
1/3 cup warm water
1/2 package yeast
3/4 cup flour
3/8 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. sugar
Yes, that's it for the dough....5 ingredients!
Preheat oven to 450 degrees....
Mix the warm water and yeast together until yeast is dissolved.
Add flour, salt, and sugar. Mix together until dough is
nice and sticky. It needs to sit about 10 minutes....or as long
as it takes to chop the vegetables and grade the cheese.
In a pan, cook the asparagus in a little bit of water until
it gets soft.
Roll out the dough and place in a slightly greased cast iron
skillet. If you don't have a cast iron, you really need to get
one....but if not....I have cooked it on a cookie sheet before
and it still comes out great.
Add either tomato sauce or marinara. I us Newman's Own
Marinara. Add just a little bit of the sauce so the dough
does not get soggy.
Add cheese. I use sharp cheddar. It's white cheddar because
I buy the kind with no preservatives. It has milk, salt,and
enzymes as the ingredients.
Mmm...already looks good!
Add the asparagus and tomato on top, then add a little
bit more cheese.
Colorful food is so good!
Bake 450 degrees for approximately 15 minutes...
Healthy....colorful....delicious!
