This quick make versatile wholewheat pizza dough will become a staple recipe in your kitchen!
Who doesn’t love pizza? Its the ultimate weekend treat food, but like with all treat foods its often heavily processed and prone to leaving you feel like crap. However there can be a way around it, most foods can be made healthier simply by going back to basics, stepping away from the mass produced versions and cooking them from scratch; and pizza is no exception.
As long as you don’t have any problems digesting wheat and gluten this pizza dough is a great step towards making your Friday night pizzas a whole lot healthier, with only 6 basic ingredients including high fibre wholewheat flour.
This is also a great cooking activity to do with children where they can get really stuck in kneading the dough and learn about yeast as they see the pizza dough magically double in size.
Or use the kneading as your own mini arm workout.
