Ingredients

For the pizza dough

85 g (3 oz) Self-raising flour

50 g (3½ tbsp) Skimmed milk

Please Note: I’ve chosen to give the recipe in grams and ounces as it’s more precise for calorie counting. However, if you’d like the flour measurements in cups you’ll need roughly ⅔ cup. Please bear in mind that if you choose to use cups the calorie amount may vary as cups aren’t an accurate way of measuring.

For the toppings

Tomato sauce (oil-free)

35 - 50 g Low fat cheese

1 tbsp Parmesan cheese - grated

Garlic and herbs - add to your liking

Vegetables of your choice

Basil

Method

For the pizza dough

In a large bowl, mix the self-raising flour and milk.

Knead the dough well for 1 minute.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and set aside while you gather your toppings. Allowing the dough to rest allows you to roll it out more easily.

Roll out the dough into a 9 inch diameter circle. If the dough pulls back allow it to rest for a few minutes and then continue to roll it out again. Your pizza crust will be thin, similar to the thickness of a pie crust.

Add the tomato sauce, cheese and toppings of your choice.

Bake in a preheated oven at 250 °C (450 °F) for around 5 - 8 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.

Tips

PLEASE NOTE: As mentioned and shown in the video, this recipe makes for a thin 9 inch pizza. Take your time while rolling out the dough.

DISCLAIMER: Some of you have been asking for lower calorie recipes. So I thought I'd share with you my low calorie pizza recipe. This recipe is around 50 calories per slice, but the whole pizza is around 400-450 calories which is a suitable amount of calories for a complete meal. So to be clear, you can enjoy the whole thing!

The final calorie count will depend on what cheese you decide to use. The entire pizza will be between 400 - 450 calories, which is a suitable calorie count for a complete meal.
