Spring Pizza

I found a pizza recipe we LOVE! It's fairly low in weight watchers points, certainly lower than ordering a pizza for delivery. It would appear half of the pizza is approximately 20 points. I modified two recipes from www.eatingwell.com here they are. Yes, the picture is of the one I made!:

Spring Pizza

5 servings | Active Time: 25 minutes | Total Time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 bunch asparagus (about 1 pound)
• 1/2 cup snipped fresh chives (from 1 bunch), divided
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
• 1 pound whole-wheat pizza dough (recipe to follow)
• 1 cup shredded Sargento brand reduced fat 4 cheese Italian

Preparation

1. Position rack in lower third of oven, place a pizza stone or large pizza pan on the rack and preheat oven to 450°F for at least 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, combine 2 tablespoons oil and garlic in a small bowl; set aside. Trim asparagus spears to about 6 inches long; slice any thicker stalks in half lengthwise. Toss in a bowl with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, 1/4 cup chives, salt and pepper.
3. Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface to about a 14-inch circle.
4. Carefully remove the pizza stone or pan from the oven and set on a heatproof surface, such as your stovetop. Place the dough on the stone or pan and brush with the reserved garlic-oil mixture. Arrange the asparagus in a circular pattern on the dough with the tips facing out. Top with cheese and the remaining chives.
5. Carefully return the stone or pan to the oven and bake the pizza on the lower rack until crispy and golden and the cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.

Whole-Wheat Pizza Dough

Makes 1-12 ounce dough | Active Time: 5 minutes | Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

To make 12 ounces dough:

• 3/4 cup whole-wheat flour
• 3/4 cup bread flour
• 1 package quick-rising yeast, (2 1/4 teaspoons), such as Fleischmann's RapidRise
• 3/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
• 1/4 teaspoon sugar
• 1/2-2/3 cup hot water, (120-130°F)
• 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil

Preparation

1. Combine whole-wheat flour, all-purpose flour, yeast, salt and sugar in a food processor; pulse to mix. Combine hot water and oil in a measuring cup. With the motor running, gradually pour in enough of the hot liquid until the mixture forms a sticky ball. The dough should be quite soft. If it seems dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons warm water; if too sticky, add 1 to 2 tablespoons flour. Process until the dough forms a ball, then process for 1 minute to knead.
2. Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface. Coat a sheet of plastic wrap with cooking spray and place it, sprayed-side down, over the dough. Let the dough rest for 10 to 20 minutes before rolling.
