Cracker Pizza Crust

Ryan wanted to do a lower calorie, thinner, crispier crust for pizza. He found one he wanted to try and came up with one that is super crispy. It was yummy!

1 1/2 cup flour
1 1/2 cup wheat flour
3 tablespoons cornstarch

1 tablespoon sugar

1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup water

3 tablespoon olive oil

Pre-heat the oven to 475 F. Mix everything together and knead. Divide the dough in half. Spread each half on a well grease 14 inch pizza pan. (I used cooking spray, and then used a little olive oil on it too. Pre-cook the crust for ~5 minutes until the crust bubbles up with air pockets. Add the toppings and put back in the oven to finish cooking. Ours took about another 10 mins. Keep an eye on them and take them out when they look done.  Cut each pizza into 12 slices - the crust is 73 calories per slice. 

We made BBQ Chicken and a Margarita pizza. Note on the Margarita pizza - we added the basil after the pizza cooked. I think next time we will add them tomatoes after it is finished too. Cooking them makes the pizza really juicy with all the tomato juice that cooks out. 

BBQ Chicken Pizza:

1 cup cooked chicken cut into pieces (or start with raw and cook with the onions)

1/2 large red onion

1/3 cup barbecue sauce (or a mix of BBQ sauce and some wing sauce)

1/4 cup ranch dressing

Mix BBQ sauce and ranch dressing. Chop onion. Saute the onion in the sauce mix. Add the cooked chicken (or cook chicken with the onion and then add sauce). 

Spread over pizza. Top with:

3 stalks of celery, chopped

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1/2 c shredded Parmesan cheese

Bake until done. The BBQ Chicken toppings add another 103 calories per slice to your crust.
