I love this recipe because the crust is so flavorful—tomato juice replaces most of the oil. It's one of my kids' favorite meals! —Karen Shipp, San Antonio, Texas

Veggie Pizza with Herbed Tomato Crust Recipe

Prep: 30 min. + rising Bake: 25 min.

Yield: 6 Servings

30 25 55

Ingredients

1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley or 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley flakes
1-1/2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed
1 teaspoon active dry yeast
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup tomato juice
1 teaspoon olive oil
1-1/2 to 1-3/4 cups all-purpose flour
TOPPINGS:
1 can (8 ounces) pizza sauce
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
1 small red onion, chopped
1 medium tomato, chopped
1 cup (4 ounces) shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients. In a small saucepan, heat the water, tomato juice and oil to 120°-130°. Add to dry ingredients; beat until smooth. Stir in enough all-purpose flour to form a soft dough.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface; knead until smooth and elastic, about 5 minutes. Place in a bowl coated with cooking spray, turning once to coat top. Cover and let rise until doubled, about 45 minutes.
Preheat oven to 400°. Punch dough down; roll into a 12-in. circle. Transfer to a 14-in. pizza pan coated with cooking spray; build up edges slightly.
Spread with pizza sauce. Top with green pepper, mushrooms, onion, tomato and cheese. Bake 25-30 minutes or until cheese is melted and edges are lightly browned. Yield: 6 slices.

Wonderful flavor! My family now requests this crust every time. I use my own favorite toppings, and this crust goes well with them all! Instead of measuring the yeast I just use 1 packet, which seems to work very well.
