Cheesy pepper and Mushroom Pizza Source: Better Homes and Gardens Makes 6 servings Prep: 55 minutes Bake: 20 minutes

Ingredients a.. 1-14 to 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour b.. 1 package active dry yeast c.. 1/4 teaspoon salt d.. 1/2 teaspoon sugar e.. 1 teaspoon cooking oil f.. Nonstick spray coating g.. 1 tablespoon cornmeal h.. 3/4 cup low-fat cottage cheese, drained i.. 1 egg j.. 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese k.. 1 teaspoon dried basil, crushed l.. 1 clove garlic, minced m.. 1/8 teaspoon pepper n.. 1 medium green or red sweet pepper o.. 1 cup sliced fresh Mushrooms p.. 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella Cheese

Directions 1. For crust, mix 3/4 cup of the flour, the yeast, sugar, and salt. Add oil and 1/2 cup warm water (120 degree F to 130 degree F). Beat with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, scraping bowl. Beat on high speed 3 minutes. Stir in as much remaining flour as you can. Then, knead in enough remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (5 minutes total). Shape into a ball. Place in a greased bowl; turn once. Cover; let rise in a warm place until double (about 30 minutes). Punch down. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.

2. On a floured surface roll dough into a 14-inch circle. Place on a pizza pan sprayed with nonstick spray coating and sprinkled with the cornmeal. Build up edges slightly. Bake crust in a 425 degree F oven about 10 minutes or until lightly browned.

3. In a blender container combine cottage cheese, egg, Parmesan, basil, garlic, and pepper. Cover; blend until smooth. Spread over hot crust. Cut green pepper into rings. Place atop pizza with Mushrooms. Sprinkle with mozzarella. Bake in a 425 degree F oven 10 minutes until hot. Makes 6 servings.
