Homemade Healthier Pizzas!
You might be thinking a) I can’t be bothered with making my own pizzas and b) they’re not going to be particularly healthy but stick with me as these really aren’t too much hassle to make (they’re actually quite fun!!) and each base is around 380 calories so if you’re trying to lose weight then they aren’t a bad option for a homemade takeaway!
The bases are made of flour and 0% fat yoghurt - it sounds weird I know but it works! You can do whatever you want for the toppings but i’ll give a few suggestions and tips on how to keep them relatively healthy.

Base Ingredients (makes 2 pizzas):
180g plain flour
180g 0% fat yoghurt
salt & pepper
finely chopped rosemary (or other herbs)
Base Method:
Mix all of the ingredients in a bowl until they are combined. if your mixture isn’t come together enough then add more yoghurt, a spoonful at a time until it forms a nice dough. if you end up adding too much and it’s really sticky then don’t worry - just add a little bit more flour until you get the balance right!
Flour a worktop, split your dough into two halves and roll the halves into balls
Flour your hands and a rolling pin and roll your dough into two circular pizza shapes - they don’t need to be perfect, if they aren’t quite circular then just go with it! (if you don’t have a rolling pin, you could wrap a water bottle in greaseproof paper)
Put some greaseproof paper onto two baking trays and dust with a little bit of flour. Put your pizzas on the trays and bake in the oven at 180 degrees for 15 minutes until golden
Once your bases are cooked, top with passata and then it’s time for the toppings…!
Topping ideas (the fun part!)
Below are a few ideas for toppings - you can obviously do what you like with these and mix the ingredients around to your own preference!
Reduced fat pesto, roasted red peppers, sliced beetroot & reduced fat mozzarella
Prosciutto, sundried tomatoes & reduced fat cheddar
Sliced chicken (pre-cooked), reduced fat pesto & reduced fat halloumi
Roasted artichokes, broccoli, red onion & reduced fat cheddar
Traditional ham & pineapple - pre-cooked ham, pineapple chunks & reduced fat mozzarella
