HCG Diet Recipes – Phase 1

Pizza (HCG Style)

Ingredients

• 1 ½ c lukewarm water
• 1 ½ tbsp sugar
• One package rapid-rise yeast
• 2 tbsp olive oil (plus more for oiling the dough)
• 4 c all purpose, unbleached flour
• 1 ½ tsp salt

Instructions

1. Oven should be preheated to 100 degrees.
2. Mix a little bit of the yeast and sugar with the water.  Pulse the mixture in a full-size processor.  Add the flour, oil, salt, and mix together until mixed together and then process for 30 seconds more. Dough should be soft and sticky.  If it is too sticky, then mix in some flout and wheat.
3. Knead the dough on a floured surface.   Squeeze to form a smooth ball.  Put the dough in a deep, lightly oiled pot.  Wrap with plastic.  Put in the warm 100 degree oven for 30 minutes to rise.  Remove dough once it has doubled in size.  Cuff down and knead on the lightly floured surface.  Divide into four balls.
4. If the dough is cold, allow to get to room temperature and then roll.
5. To roll, put the ball in the center of the floured surface.  Roll with a rolling pin.  Roll the dough from the center to the edges to create a 10 to 12 inch circle.
6. Brush both sides of the dough with olive oil.
7. Top with your choice of the following: sauce, meats, thinly sliced potatoes, peppers, eggplant, asparagus, zucchini, grated or crumbled cheese.
