Question Pizza Crust pts?

I just purchased a package of dry pizza crust mix, and it has no nutritional info. It is the kind that you just add water to, and makes about a 10" crust. Any one have any idea how many pts it would be?
Also, does anyone have a low pts crust recipe they could share?
AND does anyone know how much shredded cheese is 30grams?
TIA!

I'm sorry I don't have nutritional info on that kind of mix (but my guess would be 2-3 points, similar to a thicker slice of bread or a smaller roll). You might find something similar on www.netgrocer.com , where nutritional info is listed. I did want to comment that the best way I've found to minimize pizza crust points is simply to roll it very, very thin. For portion control, I usually make individually sized pizzas, using 1/2 the amount of dough in mine as I do on the others. Mine is rolled out very, very thin on the baking sheet by using a rolling pin and some non-stick spray to keep things from sticking. I prick the crust and then pre-bake it for a couple of minutes in a hot oven before adding toppings (to keep it from becoming soggy) and giving it a final bake. The result is a thin, crispy crust.

Thanks! I will keep that in mind. Do you make your own crust, or use a package? How many pts is it? I gave up on making myself pizza yesterday because I just couldn't figure out the pts and didn't want to wing it!
Congrats on the excellent loss- how long have you maintained it?

This is my favorite Pizza crust recipe. Long time "no see", Rupertsmom

Crusty Pizza Dough (Whole Wheat) -- 3 WW points

Recipe By onna Rathmell German -- The Bread Machine Cookbook -- Page 158
Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Bread Machine

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 1/3 cups warm water
2 tablespoons olive oil
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups All Purpose Flour -- or bread flour
2 cups whole wheat flour -- I use "white" wh. wheat
2 teaspoons yeast

Place ingredients in your bread machine in the order suggested by the manufacturer.

Set for "dough" cycle.

When cycle is finished, roll dough out into rectangles or circles, depending on the pan to be used. Place on pan and turn excess under, forming a crust on the side.
(I roll and stretch mine into 2 large circles and then use a corn meal coated pizza peel to transfer directly onto a pre-heated pizza stone in a 500°F oven after toppings are added.)

Brush very lightly with olive oil. (I add a clove of crushed garlic to my olive oil before using.)

(For a thicker, chewy crust, cover and let rise about 30 minutes.)


Top with pizza sauce, cheese and other desired toppings.

Bake in a pre-heated 500°F oven for 5 to 10 minutes, or until crust is brown and cheese is melted.
(I pre-heat oven to 500°F for at least 20 mins. I then turn the temperature down to 450°F right after I put the pizza in and bake for about 12 minutes)

NOTES : This is my favorite "healthy" Tried 'N True pizza dough recipe. I usually use bread flour and King Arthur "White" Whole Wheat flour. I add a couple of teaspoons of Vital Wheat Gluten to the recipe, if I have it on hand; it makes the dough stretchier. This dough is very easy to roll out (probably because of its lower gluten content). I highly recommend this bread machine cookbook! I got it for $4.69 at Sam's club in around 1997.
This dough can be frozen, but I don't usually bother since it would take longer to thaw than to just make up a fresh batch. To save yourself a bit of time, you could mix up a bag of the dry ingredients (except for the yeast) and then just measure out the wet ingredients when you want to make up a batch.

Hi, it's funny that I stumbled into this tonight. I just figured out the points value of my favorite pizza crust recipe on the W.W. site. I did find out it was a tad more than what I thought (oopsie! ) But not biggy I'm still well within my points tonight. I'd be happy to email that recipe to you. Just pm me your email addy and I'll zip it right to you. The recipe I have makes 2 good size crusts at 10 pts. apiece. I don't usually add a ton of fattening toppings, so I can get away with a 15 pt pizza. And if I'm starved, that's a REALLY GOOD THING!! There are days when I just have to graze and that's a good recipe to make when I feel that I can't be satisfied. It seems that after this meal I always am satisfied and don't eat afterward.

I started making my own little pizzas using tortilla shells for the crust. Perfect size for 1 person. 3 points per crust and the toppings, an excellent pizza can be made by using only 7 pts.

What a small world, JaneStarr's recipe is one of those that I use!! I love those bread machine cookbooks. Great to see you, too, Jane.

Saskie, the crust points I figure for my super-thin individual pizza is around 5 points. What I do for the individual pizzas is to take the entire batch of dough and divide it into 4 pieces. Then I take one of those pieces and divide it in half. One of those halves becomes my pizza, and from there I usually add a fine smear of tomato paste or sauce, 1/4 cup of lowfat mozzarella and a bunch of sauteed vegetables (usually peppers, onions and mushrooms). If I keep the oil to a bare minimum, I can get a large, filling pizza (all to myself) for around 8 points. It sort of ends up looking like a veggie-loaded flatbread (which is why you want to pre-bake it), but if you like a thin crust it is satisfying.

FYI, I've been "maintaining" since 11/99 (??), so around 3 years . I'm up a bit following the holidays (pretty typical for me), so I'm watching it again. It's a lifelong commitment, for sure.

Hey, I think this thread has given me an idea for dinner - haven't made these in a while!
