Recipe Categories: Pizza Recipes
Yield: 6 Servings
 
Ingredients
  1 1/2  c Flour (or a little less)  
  1/2  ts Sugar  
  3/4  c Lo-fat Cottage cheese, drained  
    Egg  
  1  ts Dried Basil, crushed  
    Med Green / Sweet Red Pepper  
  1  c Shredded Mozzarella Cheese *  
  1  pk Active dry Yeast  
  1  ts Cooking oil  
  1  tb Cornmeal  
  2  tb Grated Parmesan Cheese  
    Clove Garlic, minced  
  1  c Sliced fresh Mushrooms  
 
Instructions
 
  * part-skim

 
  1. For crust, mix 3/4 cup of the flour, the yeast, sugar, and 1/4 t salt. Add oil and 1/2 cup warm water (120-130 deg). Beat with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, scraping the bowl. Beat on high speed 3 minutes. Stir in as much of the remaining flour as you can. Then, knead in enough remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (5 minutes total). Shape into a ball. Place in a greased bowl; turn once. Cover; let rise in a warm place till double (about 30 minutes). Punch down. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.

 
  2. On a floured surface roll dough into a 14" circle. Place on a pizza pan sprayed with Pam and sprinkled with the cornmeal. Build up edges slightly. Bake crust in 425 deg F oven about 10 minutes or lightly browned.

 
  3. In a blender combine cottage cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, basil, garlic, and 1/8 t pepper. Cover; blend till smooth. Spread over hot crust. Cut green pepper into rings. Place atop pizza with mushrooms. Sprinkle with Mozzarella. Bake in 425 deg oven till hot.
