Return of the homemade pizza

After losing so much weight and lowering my cholesterol last year, I was looking for a new recipe for homemade pizza dough that uses whole wheat flour instead of evyl, bad-for-your-health, plain white flour like my old recipe used. I found one and it was "okay" when I made my first pizza with it, but I knew I could tweak the recipe and make it better. My husband (and our friend Asilinn, who was visiting us at the time) thought it was good as it was and didn't see how I could possibly improve upon the pizza dough — but I did it! Bwahahahahahahahahaaaaaaa! It is much better now than it was!

Since I also make my own sauce from scratch, I can easily control how much sodium, fat, and carbs are in the pizzas. When I add pepperoni, I only buy turkey pepperoni (it tastes basically the same with much less fat) and all the other ingredients are chopped fresh (except for the mushrooms, which are canned, but rinsed to remove most of the salt). So, we are back to homemade pizzas, but healthier ones now! Yay!
