Low Calorie Pizza (45 CALORIES)
This low calorie pizza is easy and fast! You can make it in just 15 minutes (from start to finish!)I made this amazing healthy pizza sauce with Rachael Ray and Bob Harper (from The Biggest Loser) and since then I have created an even lower calorie dough.Special Tip: I can't be sure what yummy toppings you might want to add, so I did not include them in the nutrition. I did however add the nutritional information below so that you can choose for yourself.

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees, and set out a pizza tray or baking sheet.
- In a medium bowl, combine the pizza sauce ingredients and mix well. Set aside to marinate.
- In a mixing bowl, add the flour, yogurt, garlic salt and Italian seasonings and mix until combined.
- Form into a ball of dough.
- Lay a piece of parchment paper out on the countertop (it should be the size of the pizza tray you set out).
- Place the dough in the center of the parchment paper. Top the dough with a little flour and a second piece of parchment paper.
- Use a rolling pin to roll it out. It will be about 1/4 inch thick.
- Move the pizza dough to the pizza tray, and remove the top layer of parchment paper.
- Spread the sauce over the pizza crust. And add your desired toppings.
- Transfer the pizza into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, when the crust is golden it's done. Remove the pizza from the oven and slice into eight slices.

Notes
-
- Individual Pizzas - Divide the dough into 4 balls and roll out. Then let each person add their own toppings and bake (you'll want to bake for 8-10 minutes)
-
- Stuffed Crust Pizza - Roll out the pizza a little thinner so you get a larger space, and move to the baking sheet (it will likely hang over- that's ok). Cut 2 string cheese sticks in half lengthwise (so you have 4 long sticks instead of 2). Place the sticks around the edges and then fold over the dough making a crust. Push down closing the dough over the cheese and then continue making according to the directions below.
-
- Using a Square or Rectangle Baking Sheet - You can roll out your pizza in any shape you prefer! The baking time won't change, so have fun and use any baking tray you like.
-
- Baking on a Pizza Stone - Preheat the oven as directed with the pizza stone in the oven, so that the pizza stone preheats as well. Roll out the pizza as directed and place on a pizza paddle/slide (I recommend sprinkling the paddle with cornmeal before adding the dough, so that it slides off easily). Top the pizza, then carefully (with oven mitts on) slide the pizza onto the hot pizza stone. (I like to place a baking sheet on the bottom rack to catch any spillage in the pizza transfer).
-
- Cooking in a Pizza Oven - Preheat your pizza oven to 750 degrees. Roll out the pizza as directed and place on a pizza paddle/slide (I recommend sprinkling the paddle with cornmeal before adding the dough, so that it slides off easily). Top the pizza, then carefully slide the pizza into the preheated pizza oven. Cook for 5-8 minutes, spinning as needed to avoid burning and ensure an even cooked pizza.
-
- Valentine's Heart Pizza - Roll out the dough and move to the baking sheet. Once on the baking sheet use your index finger to pull down the top making a 2 inch upside down triangle in the top (like the top of a heart) and then pull the bottom with your index and thumb and pinch into a upside down triangle (like the top of a heart). Add toppings and bake as directed.
