{"id":8702,"count":11,"description":"Pizza is an iconic dish from Italy, which has become a favourite of many people all around the world. It consists of a large and usually round and thin layer of dough, which is covered with tomato sauce, cheese, and a variety of other toppings depending on the type of the pizza. It is highly popular mostly thanks to its simplicity, crispy crust found around the edges and the <\/span>endless range of options <\/b>for preparing it.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nAmong the most common kinds of pizza, you\u2019ll find such delights as the Marinara, Margarita, Diavola or Quatro Formaggi. Another popular choice is the traditional <\/span>Neapolitan pizza with fluffy crust<\/b>, which can be topped with just about anything you feel like. In recent years, <\/span>American style pizza has been gaining more traction<\/b>, particularly the typical New York or Chicago style pizza, which is made in a deeper dish, filled with more ingredients. Nowadays, you may also come across a variety of <\/span>protein-rich pizza for<\/b> athletes <\/b>and active individuals. There\u2019s also a wide range of low-calorie pizza types which often feature in the diets of people looking to lose some weight.<\/span>\r\n

How to make your own fitness pizza at home?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nMany of us may be surprised that there\u2019s a way to enjoy pizza even while sticking to a low-calorie weight loss diet. <\/span>There\u2019s a wide variety of fit pizza types<\/b>, which can easily refresh your daily diet. You may want to try out <\/span>protein pizza<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>mini pizza<\/span><\/a> prep blends that will allow you to get yours ready in just about 10 minutes. As for toppings and decoration, the choice is up to you. Try tomatoes, cheese, high-quality ham slices, <\/span>tofu <\/span><\/a>or even <\/span>tuna<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nAnother great way to prepare your pizza real quick is to make use of a <\/span>pre-made<\/b> pizza base,<\/b> that only needs to be covered in tomato sauce and simple toppings such as <\/span>chicken breast nuggets<\/span><\/a>, cheese and herbs, before it\u2019s ready to go right into the oven. If you decide to <\/span>make your own base dough at home<\/b>, you may want to substitute the regular wheat flour with an alternative such as <\/span>spelt <\/span><\/a>or <\/span>oat flour<\/span><\/a>, which will ensure a richer content of <\/span>dietary fibre<\/span><\/a>. If you\u2019re looking to make the dough even lighter, a part, or even the entire portion of the flour that goes into the dough may be substituted with <\/span>curd<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>cauliflower<\/span><\/a>, zucchini or <\/span>mozzarella with ground almonds<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n

How to make a vegan or gluten-free pizza?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nPizza doesn\u2019t have to be a no-go in your diet even in case you don\u2019t want to, or simply can\u2019t eat gluten due to a medical condition. You can also enjoy a delicious pie if your diet is entirely plant-based. To make a <\/span>gluten-free pizza<\/span><\/a>, all you have to do is substitute the regular wheat flour with a gluten-free alternative such as <\/span>oat flour<\/span><\/a>. Then you can add selected gluten-free ingredients. This could be vegetables, mushrooms, ham or cheese.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n\r\nYou can also enjoy a wonderfully tasty slice even if you limit yourself to using only <\/span>plant-based ingredients<\/b>. The base can be covered with <\/span>ketchup <\/span><\/a>and then finished off with any toppings you desire - veggies, herbs, <\/span>tofu<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>tempeh<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>seitan <\/span><\/a>or a vegan cheese alternative. Truly, only the sky's the limit when it comes to making it your own.<\/span>\r\n

What toppings can you use for pizza?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nAre you wondering what to put on the top? It\u2019s quite simple. Use <\/span>whatever suits your taste. <\/b>Start with a good base, whether it\u2019s tomato sugo, pesto, cream sauce or a vegetable salsa. Follow up by throwing on a few slices of ham, prosciutto, pieces of <\/span>chicken breast<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>tuna<\/span><\/a>, mozzarella or any other cheese you like. And you don\u2019t have to go easy on veggies, either. Aside from the good old tomato, there\u2019s a whole lot more that works just perfectly: bell peppers, broccoli, corn, zucchini, and even mushrooms and herbs such as fresh basil. Then, once you\u2019ve made a pizza pie with your own personal touch to it, you can fine-tune the crust by spreading some <\/span>olive oil <\/span><\/a>flavoured with garlic, chilli or herbs on it. And before you stick it in the oven, there\u2019s that one last sensitive question to answer on your own - does pineapple belong on a pizza?\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\r\n

How long should your pizza stay in the oven?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nOnce your base is ready and covered with all of the ingredients you like on it, place it on a baking tray and slide it into an <\/span>oven, preheated at the temperature of 180 \u2013 200 \u00b0C<\/b>. Pizza needs about <\/span>15 \u2013 20 minutes <\/b>to bake properly<\/span>.<\/b> You\u2019ll know it\u2019s ready when the crust gets golden and the cheese melts. Once done, pull it out and let it cool off a bit before slicing it into triangles and serving it.\u00a0<\/span>\r\n

Recipe for simple pizza base dough<\/strong><\/h2>\r\nMaking <\/span>your own pizza base without having to prepare any sourdough<\/b> at home is easy and can be done by virtually anyone. Simply mix 250 g of <\/span>flour<\/span><\/a>, 1 teaspoon of <\/span>salt<\/span><\/a>, 2 tablespoons of <\/span>olive oil <\/span><\/a>and 150 ml of water. This way, you\u2019ll prepare a mass of dough that needs to be chilled in the fridge for a bit. Once it has had its time to rest, flatten it into a thin layer and cover it with all of your favourite ingredients that you\u2019re looking forward to enjoying. At this point, all you have to do is place it on a baking tray, slide it into a preheated oven and patiently wait for it to bake to perfection. And if you find yourself with a little bit more time on your hands at some point, why not try making your own leavened or yeast-based sourdough pizza base?<\/span>\r\n
