Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 So I have a wonderful recipe (Bobs Red Mill) for whole wheat rye pizza dough, but they ask for 4 tablespoons of olive oil. What are the options you have used for pizza dough. (And pie dough for that matter) when you remove oil? Thanks for your help! Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 I think the pizza dough should be fine without the oil - it might not be as crispy, though. I have no positive experience to share with fat-free pie crusts!

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 None. That is the one and only problem I have with low-fat, vegan diet. I can do the vegan, but I have issues with the low-fat.Help, anyone?JTOn Mar 3, 2009, at 5:13 PM, Tom Fronczak, LICSW wrote:So I have a wonderful recipe (Bobs Red Mill) for whole wheat rye pizza dough, but they ask for 4 tablespoons of olive oil.What are the options you have used for pizza dough.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Bryanna Clark Grogan has a recipe for no-added-fat pizza dough: http://veganfeastkitchen.blogspot.com/2006/05/vegan-pizza-night.html. Unfortunately, hers is not 100% whole grain. Here's a whole-grain recipe at Recipezaar that has no added fat: http://www.recipezaar.com/100-Whole-Grain-Pizza-Dough-146813. Read the reviews for tips on substituting for the various flours if you need to. (Note, it calls for honey, which is not vegan. I'm sure you can use agave nectar or even sugar, it just serves as food for the yeast.) (Also note, the cooking spray is not fat free, but it is just used to keep the dough from sticking to the bowl.) Sadly, I've not tried either of these, but Bryanna is a perfectionist and I'd trust her recipes any day. The second looks a bit healthier -- I'm going give it a try!

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 What kind of issues? Do you mean you don't enjoy the food? What do you eat?

I could never make a decent pie crust, even in my SAD days, so can't help there, but I *do* make a lot of pizza, and I just leave the oil out with no substitutions. I do the same for bread recipes.

Guest guest Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Here is a tried and true super easy no rising time pizza crust for ya:1 package of yeast ( 2 1/4 tsp)1 cup of warm water1 tsp of sugar (I use molasses, but you can use whatever sugar you like) 1 tsp salt1TBSP applesauce2 1/2 cups of flour (I like to use whole wheat pastry flour, but any type of flour can be used)mix all ingredients together and let it rest 15 minutes. roll it out, top it with sauce and toppings of choice. Bake is at 425 degrees for 25 minutes or until a golden brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Sue, I'll try that Right now I have a sourdough so I don't need the yeast Never added the sugar but still use the salt and this is in response to Mark's posts-we tried the vegan cheese and I agreee they are bad -for your health as well. We just put toppings on and sometimes pine nuts and asprinkle of nutrtional yeast Thanks! Em-- In , " Sue in NJ " <sue_in_nj wrote: > > > What are the options you have used for pizza dough.
