Clean Eating Pizza that rocks!!

This is a recipe that came together after I tried so many other healthy variations. I am all about healthy, but I still want it to taste good.

This is also the first time we have ever made pizza dough at home.

I say ‘we’ because there were a lot of little helping hands – the best bit about making pizza.

In our home, everyone is allocated half a pizza to ‘decorate’ at will.

So thank you for waiting, here is my pizza dough recipe as promised:

Ingredients

2 cups wholemeal flour

2 teaspoons dried yeast (one 7g sachet)

2 tablespoons of olive oil

1 cup of warm water

1 teaspoon of fine sea salt

1 teaspoon of honey

1. Mix the yeast, olive oil, water and honey together in a bowl.

2.  Tip flour and salt onto a clean flat surface, and make a little hole in the middle. pour the yeast mixture bit by bit into the hole and mix together with a fork. Gradually add more liquid and until all flour in mixed in.  Knead the dough together until it is smooth, even and almost like play dough.

3. Place ball of dough into a flour dusted bowl. Cover the bowl with a clean damp cloth and leave in a warm room for about half an hour. The dough will double in size.

4. Dust your surface with flour and knead the dough again.  It will shrink a bit as you push the air out of it.

5. I divide my dough into 3 even little balls. Each ball will make one pizza. We like a thin crust, so if you like a thicker crust, divide into two balls only.

6. Roll out your dough. I like the dough to be about 1/2 cm thick as it will rise when in the oven.

7. You can either roll out all of your pizza dough bases at this time and wrap them in cling film to freeze or refrigerate OR cook them all now.

Clean Pizza Dough Ingredients: Wholemeal flour, salt, yeast, oil, honey and warm water

Mix water, yeast, honey and olive oil together.

On a clean surface, pile the flour and salt mix. Make a little hole in the middle and slowly add the liquid mix.

Keep mixing until all the flour and liquid comes together

You get a beautiful ball of pizza dough. Oh yeah!

Divide into three even balls (Two if you want your pizza to have a thicker crust)

You can store extra dough in fridge or freezer or cook them all now (Can you ever have too much pizza??)

Roll out you pizza and place on a flour dusted tray. I use tin foil to help with clean up.

You can get adventurous from here. We add a tablespoon of organic tomato paste and sprinkle with parmeson cheese.

In this pizza we have added spinach, mushrooms, garlic, oregano and feta cheese.

Pop in the oven (180 degrees Celsius for about 15 min). This will depend on thickness of crust and also how crispy you want it.

Crust is crispy and light.

Oh yeah….. ENJOY!
