This tasty pizza has a whole wheat crust and plenty of veggies.
Servings: 6
Ingredients
Crust
- 1 recipe for Whole Wheat Crust from Sally's Baking Addiction
Pizza Sauce
- 2 carrots peeled and chopped
- 2 sweet mini peppers chopped
- 1 cup broccoli florets chopped small
- 1/2 white onion
- 1 Tbs minced garlic
- 1 1/2 tsp mushroom bullion
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 2 to matoes chopped
- 1 can tomato sauce 8 ounces
- 1/2 cup red kidney beans rinsed and drained
- 3/4 cup favorite spaghetti sauce or extra tomatoes this helps it get that red color kids expect
- 1 tsp oregano dry
- 1 tsp parsley dry
Toppings
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese
- Toppings of choice: Ham pineapple, mushrooms, peppers, pepperoni, etc.
Instructions
- Make pizza dough according to directions. or use premade crust of choice
- Chop up all your veggies really small. (If your kids are suspicious, leave the peppers out, they have the strongest flavor)
- Put water, bullion, and all veggies in a pot, and bring to a boil, then turn down to a medium heat and cook until veggies are almost mush. Takes about 15 minutes
- Put everything, broth included (that is where the nutrients are), into a blender.
- Blend until smooth
- Add in beans, tomato sauce, seasonings, and spaghetti sauce, and blend until smooth
- Put in a Pizza Sauce Jar to trick your kids!
- Top pizza crust with 1 cup of sauce
- Top with cheese and favorite pizza toppings. I like to add a thin layer of cheese, the toppings, and then more cheese. This helps it stick together, and results in needing a slightly longer time to get the cheese melty, which gives the crust a chance to bake up perfectly.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 475 for 15-17 minutes
- Serve hot
