The Sneaky Chef
How to Outsmart Your Picky Eater
By Missy Chase Lapine
1 store-bought pizza dough or 4 "Greek style" pocketless pitas (whole wheat preferred)
3/4 cup store-bought tomato sauce
1/4 cup Orange Puree (see recipe above)
1 to 2 cups low-fat shredded mozzarella cheese
Preheat oven to 400 degrees and preheat a pizza stone or spray a baking sheet with oil.
Stretch pizza dough or roll out with floured rolling pin on floured surface to form a pie. Transfer to stone or baking sheet. If using pocketless pitas, place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Combine tomato sauce with Orange Puree. Mix well. Spread 1/2 to 1 cup of the sauce mixture across the large pizza dough (1/4 cup for each pita), then top with 1 cup of mozzarella (1/2 cup per pita). Cover and refrigerate at this point, or bake for 15 to 20 minutes until bubbly and lightly browned. Allow to cool a few minutes, then cut into triangles and serve. Makes one large pizza or four smaller pizzas.
