I was referring to this thread:
Made a Pizza Today
It does require a bread machine though.

Once I ate a large deep dish pizza, half a loaf of garlic bread, and a couple chicken fingers. It was a fine and delicious 2500 calorie meal. At the time I only weighed 145, it was silly.

Thanks aggies. I have gotta give that a try. I've never seen oat flour at my grocery store, though.

I've got a food processor that can make the dough. Else i wouldnt bother making my own pizza

I used to love it. Like bacon and other garbage foods like that. I'm slowly eliminating them from my diet forever.
If Pizza is supposed to be a "feel good food" then why don't I feel so good after I eat it. Cause its high calorie and loaded with bad fats and salt and sugar. The longer I go without it the less I miss it. Besides it clogs your arteries. Kinda like Ice cream.
It's cool seeing veins popping out of my skin. Can't do that with pizza in your diet. At least I can't.
My real weakness is CHEESEBURGERS

You can make your own oat flour by grinding rolled oats in your food processor or in a blender.

I'm a bit suprized you could eat that much at 145... I don't even know if I could've done that when I was 190.... even if I were starved.

You would be surprised what lightweight people like myself can pack away...

I'm close to 145 and I can eat a lot............... because I am used to eating with people who are much heavier than me. Besides that I enjoy my own cooking and like to prepare large meals for me and my friends. I just train harder to compensate on the days I go overboard.

If you stick to quality ingredients you are ahead of the game.

I'v tried that. It comes out kinda grainy. Maybe i need to use a smaller amount of oats at the highest speed

What do you use for the sauce? I have tried a few pizza sauces that come in a can, but they are a bit sour.

Well I personally don't eat pizza (very rarely will I make one or eat one from a fast food place). However, I did find a few pizza sauce recipes that don't look too bad.

No Cook Tomato Sauce
1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes
3 ounces tomato paste
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 tablespoon crushed garlic
1 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions:
Mix all ingredients in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate overnight. Use one-half cup of the sauce for a 13-inch pizza crust or a large tortilla.

PIZZA SAUCE:

Cook 1/2 cup minced onion in 1 teaspoon olive oil until golden. Stir in 1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce, 1 (1 pound) can tomato puree, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt, and 1 teaspoon crumbled oregano. Simmer 30 minutes. Refrigerate until ready to use. 2 - 12 inch.

PIZZA SAUCE

1 (8 oz.) tomato sauce
1 1/2 tsp. Italian herbs
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 tsp. salt
Dash of pepper
1 tbsp. dried parsley flakes

Classic Marinara Sauce
INGREDIENTS

6 garlic cloves, chopped
2 medium onions, chopped
6 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 32-ounce cans whole tomatoes in juice
salt to taste

1. In a heavy saucepan over medium low heat, cook garlic and onions in olive oil until softened, about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.

2. Add tomatoes and juice, along with a little salt, if desired. You may mash the tomatoes with a fork (although some of us prefer to squash them with our bare hands before adding them to the pot) and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally until thickened, about 1 hour.

Makes about 5 cups plain sauce.

Possible add-ins:

Add to garlic and onions as they soften:

1 medium green pepper, seeded and chopped

Add to tomatoes:

Dried or fresh basil
Reconstituted dried mushrooms, or fresh ones, chopped
