White Pizza

Yields: 8 slices | 4 points per slice

My rating:

This white pizza is a spinoff recipe of my mom's Cheese Pizza. It's easy to make and absolutely delicious. If you love garlic and cheese, you can't not love this! You may also want to check out my recipe for Pesto Pizza.

Ingredients:

1 (13.8-oz) tube of refrigerated Pillsbury classic pizza crust (found by crescent rolls/premade cookie dough) *
1 Tb olive oil
garlic powder or minced fresh garlic (to taste)
1/2 cup fat-free ricotta cheese
1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese (Or you can use a five-cheese blend like the one from Kraft which includes low-moisture, part-skim mozzarella, provolone, romano, asiaso, and parmesan cheese)

* Alternately, you can use 1 box Pillsbury Hot Roll Mix, 1 package of refrigerated pizza dough, or any other ready-made pizza crust. These are all roughly the same points value, but please note that my Nutritional Info below is based on the refrigerated 13.8-oz tube Pillsbury pizza crust.

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400º. Spray or grease cookie sheet or pizza pan. (I use a 13-inch "thin crust" pizza pan)

Unroll dough on greased cookie sheet or pizza pan. Press to desired size, shape and thickness.

Brush dough with olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic. Top with mozzarella cheese and dollups of ricotta cheese.

Bake 10-15 minutes.

Yields: 8 slices
