Healthy Wholemeal Pizza



Ingredients: (3 large pizzas)

For a base:
  • 4 cups of wholemeal flour
  • 2 1/4 cup of warm water
  • 1/2 tbsp. of dries active yeast
  • 1 tsp. of himalayan salt
  • a pinch of xylitol or cane sugar


Tomato sauce:
  • 1 cup of pasata
  • 1 tsp. of olive oil
  • 1 tsp. of Italian herbs/herbes de provence (oregano, basil, thyme)
  • a pinch of himalayan salt
  • a pinch of sugar (xylitol, stevia, cane sugar or any other sweeterner)
  • fresh or dried garlic


Toppings: (The one I used)
  • Mushrooms
  • Mozarella
  • Onion
  • Tomato

In a small bowl put dried active yeast, 1/4 cup of warm water and sugar.




Mix until all liquid.





In a large bowl put wholemeal flour, 2 cups of warm water, himalayan salt and the yeast mixture. Mix everything together.



You can add some herbs for the base if you want.

Place the mixture in a warm place (in the oven on 30°C or by the radiator for 20-30 min.) until it rise up. Place as much mixture as you want on a tin to create pizza. Put some olive oil on your hands and the tin and form a base.

To make a tomato sauce place all ingredients in a bowl and mix them together.

Pour tomato sauce, add toppings that you like and place pizzas in the oven for around 20 min. at
220°C. 

Remember to leave the edges for the crust.




Toppings:
Place the mushrooms onto a sauce pan with a little bit of butter. Fry it for around 10 minutes on a high heat. In the meantime, add garlic, Italian herbs, himalayan salt and mix everything together.




Chop onions and slice tomatos.

Go ahead and add black olives, sweet corn, meat, pineapple, spinach or any other ingredients to make different flavours!


Enjoy!
