Super Wheat Stuffed Crust Pizza!
Good 3.7/5

My boyfriend & I are doing spark together. We love pizza, especially stuffed crust but I couldn't bear eating all those calories for one slice at pizza hut. So, we decided to make our own. We were so surprised how low in calories it is per slice that we will definitely make this one of our regular meals. Everything we used is pretty easy to find but if you're having trouble finding the dough, check shoprite in the cheese section.

Original recipe calls for regular breakfast sausage, such as Jimmy Dean. But I found this substitute to taste just as good and much less fat and healthier. A great grab and go breakfast. Make ahead and wrap individually in the refridge, micro for 30 seconds on high and go!!
