Ingredients for the healthy homemade pizza recipe

Whole wheat flour (Atta) - 1 1/2 cups Tomatoes – 2 medium, cut into strip Active dry yeast – 11/2 tsp Soya flour – 2tbsp Sugar – 1 tsp Salt – 1tsp Wheat bran – 2tbsp Olive oil – 1 tbsp

For sauce Olive oil – 2tbsp Onion – 1 small, chopped Garlic – 4-5 cloves, chopped Tomatoes – 4 medium, finely chopped Fresh basil leaves – a few Whole dry red chillies – 2 tsp crushed Salt to taste

For topping

Onion – 1 medium sliced Mushroom – 10-12 sliced Green capsicum – 1 medium, cut into thick strips Olive oil – 1 tsp Dry oregano – ¼ tsp

MethodStep 1: For making the base of the pizza, mix yeast with sugar.

Add one teaspoon of warm water. Ensure that the water is not too hot and not too cold too. It should be warm. Set it aside until it becomes frothy. Mix wheat flour and soya flour and add this frothy yeast to it. Add olive oil, salt and wheat bran.

Step 2: Add a little water and make a soft dough. This is the

most important part of getting a well-textured pizza base, as you should make sure the dough is not too hard or sticky. It should be perfect. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and leave it in a warm place for about 40 minutes. The dough will rise to the double of its actual volume due to yeast.

Step 3: now divide the dough into four and roll out each portion. The based should be medium and not too thin. You can make an approximate 8-inch disc with this part of the dough. Prick with a fork all over the rolled out dough. Now, preheat the oven to 220 degrees C.

Step 4: For preparing the sauce, take a pan and

heat olive oil in it. Add garlic, chopped onions and stir fry. Add chopped tomatoes.

Step 5: Now add a cup of water and bring it boil.

Stir in salt, crushed basil leaves and dried chillies. You need to make it a thick consistency liquid as that of the sauce and thus simmer it for some time on medium heat until it reaches the desired consistency.

Step 7: Place it in the preheated oven at 220 degrees C for about twenty minutes or until the base turns out crisp or the cheese starts melting. Make sure the tray is oven proof and greased too.

Step 8: Remove from the oven and sprinkle some oregano for the

extra taste. Cut it into conical/ triangle shapes of eight pieces and serve hot.

Voila! Your healthy homemade pizza is ready!
