1/2 c fat free half & half
1/4 tsp salt
1/8 tsp white pepper
1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
2 Tbsp all purpose flour
1/4 c fresh grated parmesan cheese
FOR THE CRUST
1 tsp jarred yeast
2 Tbsp warm water
1 tsp honey
1/2 c cold water
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/2 c whole wheat flour
FOR THE TOPPINGS
1 bag(s) (8 oz.) part skim, low moisture mozzarella cheese
1 large chicken breast, grilled to perfection

Steps:

1. In a large bowl, stir together the yeast & warm water, add honey and set aside for 10 minutes.

7. Press your crust into a greased pizza pan.
8. Ladle and spread your white sauce onto pizza crust and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon minced garlic.
9. Top with a layer of grilled chicken, then a layer of mushrooms and asparagus.
