Pizza


In the US, pizza is white flour crust with lot of cheese and a few toppings.  This is, of course, gives you an unhealthy dose of animal fat and refined flour.
However, if you have ever been to Italy, you know that pizza doesn't have to have gobs of cheese and can be healthy.

I make pizza with a whole wheat dough (also lower in salt) which I make in my bread machine.  I top it with lots vegetables (onions, artichoke hearts, olives, bell peppers, tomatoes, fresh basil and whatever else is in the fridge).  I don't use any cheese.
This is great when cooked on the grill or in the oven.  I tend to make a thin crust pizza so it cooks quickly.
