When I need sauce I simply pull a packet out of the freezer and keep on going. I purchase small jars of already prepared pizza sauce and freeze what is not used in portions of 2 or 3 teaspoons wrapped in plastic. Go easy on the cheese as when it melts it spreads. We love grilled vegetables on ours, however, between the cheese, vegetables and any other toppings one must be a bit light handed or your top-heavy pizza will totally fall apart. For cheese I use a variety such as part-skim mozzarella, goat cheese, feta and even brie depending on how bad I want to be. In order for the flat breads to crisp up and hold their shape they need to be toasted for a few minutes without any toppings…just plain on a baking sheet. I love them because they so satisfy that pizza craving when I’m watching my weight, and I always am, but even more so when I’m losing weight which I happen to be doing as.we.speak. You can make these flatbread pizzas as healthful or as decadent as you want. For those nights when you ask yourself, “Didn’t I feed them LAST night? My gosh, when does this end?”, this is the go-to solution. These days we have Flatout brand flat bread pizzas and, boy, are they great! Flatouts are perfect for those days when you’ve reached your limit you’re done with dinner. If I choose to have pepperoni, it is ALWAYS turkey pepperoni. They still skip meat on Fridays but I hardly ever make pizza dough anymore and when we do have pizza I top it with part-skim mozzarella and grilled vegetables. My boy, James, and husband, Jimmy, ate no meat on Fridays so as to receive communion at church on Sunday. In days gone by I made homemade pizza dough every Friday night topped with fresh mozzarella.
