Really Healthy Pizza
Really Healthy Pizza
Lots of people like pizzas but they are not very healthy, this one has more than enough of great ingredients to make it healthy and easy on the waistline. Using a selection of different flours/grains gives it extra nutrition. You can make the pizza topping to suit your taste, but remember to go easy on the cheese as this defeats the object of eating healthy, so a little feta goes a long way for taste.
Ingredients
- 1 Cup of Quinoa Flour
- Three quarters a cup of all-purpose flour or GF

Directions
Preheat your oven to 400.
Mix all the dry ingredients thoroughly and make a well in the centre. Add the oil and water together and mix into the dry ingredients to make a dough ball. leave for 30 mins to settle in the fridge.
Roll the ball into your pizza base making it into a nice thin base. Transfer to a greased oven tray.
Bake in the oven for about 15 mins, watch it so that it doesn't burn.
