Thin Crust Pizza Recipe Healthy

Everyone needs a super easy and universally-loved dinner idea up their sleeve. This Easy Thin Crust Pizza Tutorial will show you how to make shatteringly crisp, outrageously delicious pizza in 20 minutes!

I'm happy to present to you this 20-Minute, Easy Thin Crust Pizza Tutorial, as I know it will make your life more fun, delicious and easy! I've been making this pizza for months now and it's been a life-saver on those busy days when I forget about dinner until 5 or 6 o'clock. It's been wonderful to be able to make a delicious (and decently healthy) pizza with whatever I can scrounge up in the fridge and pantry. It's not a complicated recipe, but I've been testing different oven temps and prep techniques to achieve a super crisp pizza crust, with minimal time and effort involved. I can't wait for you to try it!

It seems to me, that (almost) everyone loves pizza. It's one of those entrees that's popular with kids and grownups alike and it can be served for breakfast lunch or dinner, depending on the toppings. Here at The Café, we never tire of pizza as there's an infinite number of varieties!

The problem with pizza, as I see it, is twofold. First of all, a good pizza takes a fair amount of time to put together. Even a super easy crust recipe takes forethought, planning and at least an hour to mix up, roll out, allow to rise and finally, bake. It makes a delicious dinner with a crisp green salad but it's definitely not one you can whip up on a moment's notice.

The second problem with pizza, both homemade and purchased, is that it's generally pretty high in calories and carbs, making it a delicious splurge but perhaps not the most healthy choice for frequent indulging.

But what if you could have pizza, with just about any kind of toppings and have it be decently low in calories and carbs (in comparison to classic homemade or purchased pizza)?

The crust accounts for most of the carbs and a good portion of the calories in pizza. According to Eatingwell.com, a medium (12-inch)

But, what if you could have a pizza that was decently low in carbs and calories with a super crisp crust and your favorite toppings for just 8 carbs and around 139 calories per slice? A pizza that would take 20 minutes, start to finish!

Okay, so what's the secret? It's something you can find at pretty much any grocery store. Big flour tortillas. Flour tortillas?? Flour tortilla pizzas are nothing new. People have been probably making them for as long as flour tortillas have been around. But honestly, most flour tortilla pizzas taste like a flour tortilla with pizza toppings. That's not what we're going for here.

We're going for a shatteringly crisp, super delicious crust that will make the perfect blank canvas for an endless variety of toppings. I discovered that it's all in the prep. Yes, if prepped correctly these Mexican-inspired flatbreads can produce fabulous thin-crust pizza!

How does it work? Prepping a tortilla for pizza will take less than 2 minutes. Start by preheating your oven to 375˚F. Place a large flour tortilla (I like to use the 12-inch size) on a sheet pan and brush it on both sides with olive oil (this is where the magic's at, the oil in combination with the oven heat, takes a regular old flour tortilla and transforms it to a thin, super tasty, shatteringly crisp pizza crust.

The next step is a 2½ minute stint in the oven. When you take a peek after 2½ minutes, the flat tortilla will be just begining to turn golden and will have puffed up in areas. At this point, simply remove the pan from the oven, flip the tortilla over and flatten any puffy areas with a metal spatula. Back into the oven it goes for 2½- 3 minutes more. Flip it one more time and again, flatten out any puffiness.

Finish off the pizza with cheese, sauce and your favorite pizza toppings and you're just about done! Bake until the cheese is bubbly and the crust golden and shatteringly crisp. Now, wipe the drool off your mouth as you call the gang for dinner. Don't be surpised if the pizza disappears faster than you can say

For the classic pepperoni pizza featured in the images above I followed the directions given in the recipe below for preparing and baking the crust. Then I topped it with 6 ounces of shredded Mozzarella, ¼ cup of Super Easy Pizza Sauce and 1¼ ounces of Boarshead Thin-sliced Pepperoni. After baking I like to sprinkle the whole thing with a shower of Italian seasoning and lots of fresh basil leaves. DELISH!
