Pizza is one of the ultimate comfort foods, but you might find yourself trying to resist it because it’s generally considered unhealthy. The crust is its most problematic part because it tends to be baked with refined grains, fats, and calories, but there are ways to make it a little bit healthier.
Different Flour
The easiest way to put a healthier twist on your pizza crust is to switch up to the flour that you’re using. Highly-processed white flour won’t do your pizza any good so try to go with whole wheat flour whenever you can – even when ordering a pizza because many establishments are starting to offer healthier gluten-free options.
Veggie Crust
Vegetable crust experienced a huge boom in recent years, and it can take your pizza to the next level. Beet, cauliflower, and broccoli crust are especially popular and they’ll make your pizza healthy and delicious at the same time.
Thinner Crust
Moderation is key when it comes to all unhealthy foods, including pizza crust. When it comes to pizza, you can cut down on fat and calories by making your crust thinner. In addition to making your dish a little bit healthier, you’ll also allow the toppings to finally have their moment in the spotlight.
