Cheesy Pepper and Mushroom Pizza 

Makes 6 servings

1 1/2 c Flour (or a little less) 
1/2 ts Sugar 
3/4 c Lo-fat Cottage cheese,drained 
Egg 
1 ts Dried Basil, crushed 
Med Green / Sweet Red Pepper 
1 c Shredded Mozzarella Cheese * 
1 pk Active dry Yeast 
1 ts Cooking oil 
1 tb Cornmeal 
2 tb Grated Parmesan Cheese 
Clove Garlic, minced 
1 c Sliced fresh Mushrooms 

* Part-skim. 

For crust, mix 3/4 cup of the flour, the yeast, sugar, and 1/4 t salt. Add oil and 1/2 cup warm water (120-130 deg). Beat with electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, scraping the bowl. Beat on high speed 3 minutes. Stir in as much of the 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 warm place till double (about 30 minutes). Punch down. Cover; let rest 10 minutes. 

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

In a blender combine cottage cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, basil, garlic, and 1/8 t pepper. Cover; blend till smooth. Spread over hot crust. Cut green pepper into rings. Place atop pizza with mushrooms. Sprinkle with Mozzarella. Bake in 425 degree oven till hot.
