Made pizza for dinner
Given that I’m running out of food in my place the most economical yet tasteful dinner I could make was pizza; it turns out it wasn’t that unhealthy either.
I started out using the rest of my whole-wheat flour for my crust. I haven’t made an entire crust from whole-wheat flour since my first crust, which turned to be real chewy and dry; usually I make half whole-wheat and half all-purpose flour. The crust this time however didn’t turn out the same way as it did before, in fact it turned real awesome. I don’t know what it was but it was probably one of the best crusts I’ve ever made.
For toppings I avoided using a tomato sauce; in part because the tomato pizza sauce I have isn’t all that great and with the toppings I was planning on using they wouldn’t go with that kind of sauce. I really didn’t use a “sauce” per se, but just put a layer of olive oil down before putting on the topings, but after I pre-baked the crust for a few minutes. My toppings included: Black Olives, Artichokes, Garlic and Red Pepper Flakes with Mozzarella Cheese. Probably the least healthy ingredient was the cheese and that would be a way to save calories.
I was extremely happy with the way it came out and I’m going to continue to use 100 % whole wheat crust from now on. As Alton Brown says: the crust is what makes the pizza perfect.
