Moving to phase 2 next week-PIZZA time!
 
Ok I know many reccomend the whole wheat boboli crusts or the make your own ones but what about sauce? Does everyone make their own? Is there a pre-made one that is acceptable?

I have to tell you the turkey pepperonis with fat free mozarella melted on them have SAVED me this past week!!!! :)

Thanks!

This is the recipe I use for pizza sauce:

1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
1 tablespoon ground oregano
1/2 tsp. splenda
1/2 tsp. onion powder
2 tsp fresh chopped basil
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh minced garlic
1 teaspoon ground paprika

In a medium bowl, Mix together tomato sauce and tomato paste until smooth. Stir in oregano, garlic, splenda, basil, and paprika.

Hope this helps and enjoy your pizza!

YAY thank you! Do you ever make up and store/freeze?

I freeze sauce sometimes. We don't use sweetener at all in ours, no one in my family did so I never developed a taste for that. There are several varieties of NSA sauce out there too. I'm sure other Chicks can suggest some brands. The only one I ever buy premade is Bove, even then I add spices :)

I don't know if there are Safeway stores in your area but some of their sauces are SBD approved.

Just read labels. Most sauces will have natural sugars - so read the ingredients and if there is no added sugar, you are good to go!

not the biggest fan of sauce so i put fresh slices of tomato on my pizzas. it's delicious!

The Kroger/Fred Meyer brand has no added sugar in the ingredients list, that's the kind that I use and it seems like it's ALWAYS on sale for $.99 a jar!! lol I've also been told that Wal-Mart brand (Great Value) has no added sugar...but my Wal-mart just barely stared carrying groceries...so I can attest to that.

I'll have to try homemade sometime....I'm sure it tastes better :)

no pizza sauce! Spread the crust with hummus, then throw on some sun-dried tomatoes, peppers, red onion, kalamata olives, feta & mozza. Bake, then top with lots of arugula and drizzle with a little red wine vinegar and EVOO. BEST. EVER.

I use whole wheat pitas to make my pizzas on. It's perfect size and helps w/ portion control, too. This is the recipe I use for sauce:

Quote:

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 cup tomato puree
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried basil
2 teaspoons dried thyme

I brush the bottom of the pitas w/ an olive oil, basil, and garlic powder mixture.

FWIW - I like the WW tortillas as a crust, bobolis are way too thick for me.

Mmmm....some of these suggestions sound delish!

Misson Brand makes a low carb tortilla that works great as a thin crispy crust, and its super quick.

CyndiM 11-06-2011 05:48 PM

Just a reminder that SBD is not a low carb plan, it's good carbs. Many low carb products use ingredients that are not beach friendly so always read ingredients. true whole wheat/whole grain is better than low carb with processed starches.

I will never use jar sauce again! Once I made my own it just taste so much better.
Yumm enjoy your pizza. I love the pepperoni crisps for a snack. Also with Salami which isn't as salty.
