Ingredients (use vegan versions):

* 1 1/2 teaspoon dry yeast
* 2 cups bread flour
* 1/4 cup wheat bran
* 3/4 teaspoon salt
* 2 TAB minced prunes(If prunes are hard, our boiling water over them to

Directions:

This low-fat version of classic pizza gives you lots of fiber and
vitamins on a voluptuously topped, crisp pie.
Yield: 2 (10-inch) pizzas, 8 servings.

Add all ingredients for the dough except the cornmeal in order suggested
by your bread machine manual and process on the dough cycle accourding to
manufacturer’s directions.

While the dough is being processed, preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
Place the onions in their skins, the whole zucchini, the tomato, and the
garlic cloves in their skins on a nonstick baking sheet. Bake the tomato
and garlic 20 minutes, the onions and zucchini 40 minutes. Let the
vegetables cool. Peel the onions and garlic. Chop the vegetable3s coarsely.
At the end of the dough cycle, remove the dough from the machine and
divide it in half. On a floured board with a floured rolling pin, roll
each piece of dough into a 10-inch round. Sprinkle the cornmeal on 2
nonstick baking sheets or pizza pans. Place the dough on the pans, prick
all over with a fork, and bake 15 minutes. Top the pizzas with the
chopped vegetables and bake 5 minutes longer. Remove the pizzas from the
oven and sprinkle with the basil, oregano, and thyme on top. Eat hot or
at room temperature. If you want ff cheese, make sure you add it under
the vegetables so it melts and stays soft.

Pesto Pizza

June 9, 2008

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

* Pizza crust (I use ready made Italian flatbread)
* Pesto (olive oil, bazil, pine nuts)
* dairy free parmesan cheese

Directions:

Make your pizza crust if you want to do it from scratch. Otherwise, put pizza crust on a
stone, or what ever kind of pizza baking pan you use. Spread pesto (olive oil, basil, and
pine nuts) over the crust. Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese over the pizza. Bake at 350

Personal Portobello Pizza

June 9, 2008

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

* 4 large portobello mushroom caps, stems removed
* 1 large red pepper
* shredded soy cheese
* lemon juice
* 4 cloves minced garlic
* dried basil
* adobo, pepper, and/or other seasoning to taste

Directions:

Set mushrooms top-down on non-stick or greased baking pan.

Squeeze lemon juice over caps and don’t be shy. The juice
will soak into the mushrooms during baking to add just a
little tang. Sprinkle with black pepper and dried basil
(rub basil into your palm with your thumb first to crush
the leaves and release more flavor) and set aside.

Chop red pepper into small chunks. Saute with garlic and
some adobo seasoning until tender.

Sprinkle shredded soy cheese on each cap not quite to the
edge. Top with pepper/garlic mixture.

Bake in 350 degree oven for 10-15 minutes, until cheese has
completely melted. Done!

Great with rice or on its own! Adjust toppings to taste -
onion, green pepper, tomato sauce would all work well.
Serves 2 with 2 mushroom pizzas each.

Serves: 2

Preparation time: 30 minutes from start to finish
