Ohhh, I love pizza so much and my husband too. But I know that you will agree when I say that shop-bought or takeaway pizza is not always the best option and pizza that tastes really good is always just a touch too expensive. So what don't make your own? This one is with my homemade dough which is loaded with veggies and also the whole pizza carries about 1kg of different kinds of vegetable to provide you with an amazing experience, nutrients and full.
Start from the base
My quick go-to pizza dough is made out of flour of your choice, salt, olive oil and water.
I made this one a bit different. Used combination of buckwheat, chickpeas and coconut flour, egg and grated carrot.
As a base sauce, I always mix good canned tomatoes, with some finely chopped onion, garlic and oregano, a touch of balsamic vinegar and salt.
And the toppings. There is really no limitation. I like to add as many veggies as I can to have different flavours and textures. Use different kinds of cheese or protein. There is no "best way" to have your pizza.
So use your imagination and enjoy the final result.
My trick when using veggie sin the dough is to prebake your base first, otherwise, you will have underdone dough with burnt toppings.
