Not all pizza is created equal. In fact, pizza can be made healthy, especially when you make it yourself. Whole grain and chickpea crusts are nutritional powerhouses compared to white flour crust. Top the pizza off with mounds of veggies and a healthy tomato sauce. Hold the cheese and sprinkle on some nutritional yeast! Now you can eat pizza and feel great after eating it too!
Let me just recommend, using 1/2 whole wheat flour (1.25 cups) with 1/2 chickpea flour (1.25 cups) is a delicious combination.
2 1/2 cups whole wheat flour, whole wheat pastry flour, or chickpea flour*
2/3 cup water
1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 Tablespoon baking powder
1 can of white beans (great northern or cannelloni)
2 teaspoons white miso paste (optional)
1 medium tomato (diced)
1/3-2/3 cup water
1 can tomato paste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
2 Tablespoons nutritional yeast (optional)
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon rosemary
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon thyme
2 teaspoons basil
black pepper (to taste)
crushed red pepper (optional)
1/4-1/2 onion
1/2 medium zucchini
1/2 bell pepper
1/2- 1 cup greens of choice (spinach, kale, arugula)
1/2 small cauliflower (optional)
*1/2 whole wheat flour, 1/2 chickpea flour is a great combo!
