Pizza is a popular meal around the world, but it can often be high in calories, sodium, and unhealthy fats. Marsha's Whole Wheat Pizza is a healthier alternative that still satisfies your craving for pizza. Using a mix of bread flour and whole wheat flour, this recipe results in a crust that's crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Top it with your favorite ingredients (such as tomato sauce, cheese, and veggies) for a balanced and nutritious meal that's also delicious and enjoyable.

Instructions

1.	Mix the bread flour, whole wheat flour and salt in a large bowl. Add the yeast and enough water to mix to a soft dough.
2.	Knead the dough on a floured surface until smooth and elastic. Place it back in the bowl and cover with a clean tea towel for approximately 45 minutes, until it has doubled in size.
3.	Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to the desired shape and thickness.
4.	Arrange your toppings of choice (e.g. tomato sauce, cheese, veggies, meat) on top of your pizza dough.
5.	Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes until the crust is crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

PROS

This pizza dough recipe uses whole wheat flour, which adds a nutty flavor to your crust and makes it a healthier alternative to traditional pizza crusts.

You can customize your toppings to suit your taste preferences, making this a versatile meal that everyone can enjoy.

CONS

Whole wheat pizza dough can sometimes be denser than regular pizza dough, which may take some getting used to.

This recipe takes longer to prepare than using store-bought pizza dough.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

Whole wheat flour is high in fiber, which can help promote healthy digestion and keep you feeling full. It also contains more micronutrients, such as vitamins and minerals, than refined flour.
Toppings such as veggies and lean protein can add even more nutrients to your pizza, making it a balanced meal option.
