For me, whole wheat pizza is a quick meal. The dough is kneaded in no time (especially if you ask for help from a food processor), rolled out and stretched on a baking sheet in half a count, and just as quickly filled with filling and baked. Everyone in the family loves pizza, so I often make it for... breakfast. Not on a weekday, of course, on weekends - I usually wake up quite early, knead the dough, and take a shower. The first morning cup of tea alone with my thoughts and a book, the dough at this time lives its own life, rising and growing. As soon as I see that it is ready to go, the first thing I do is wake up the family, after which I immediately turn on the oven to maximum temperature. While the children and husband are washing and changing clothes, I stretch the dough onto a baking sheet, work my magic on the filling, cut the mozzarella and send all this splendor to bake. In general, by the time people flock to the kitchen, I am ready to feed them. Pizza made with whole grain flour turns out deliciously beautiful - the dough is elastic, but soft, solid, palpable, but not heavy. The filling on it is completely organic, they fit together as if they were born for each other. In general, I am gradually using whole grain flour more and more in baking - apparently, I will soon completely switch to it. In pizza - I've already moved on.
Pizza... Pizza is the most delicious thing you can imagine. I mean, pizza is better than anything. Sebastian Stan
Below I will give a recipe for whole grain pizza dough , which I have been using lately - and I want to say that it is perfect. Thanks to simple steps, you get a perfect result, I recommend it.
Yes, one more addition. Pizza, proper and real pizza, is baked in a wood-burning oven - the cooking temperature is very high, which results in such a cool crust. In home ovens there is no such temperature - and even when baking at maximum, it is impossible to get the same result as in the oven. I recently learned a trick: after rolling out the dough, don’t rush to fill it with filling. Place the dough in the oven for 3-5 minutes - the dough will rise and dry out. Now take it out, quickly add the filling and let it cook for another 5-10 minutes. The recommendation, I understand, sounds rather dubious, but this option works for me - try it, maybe you’ll like it.
Pizza dough made from whole grain flour. PP pizza dough
One of the main secrets of making diet pizza is low-calorie dough.
Regular pizza is made from wheat flour. 100 grams of such flour contains about 330 calories and 70 grams of carbohydrates, which automatically makes wheat flour a threat to our figure. In addition to this, wheat flour contains virtually no fiber, which nutritionists recommend including in your diet when losing weight. That is why diet pizza in most cases completely excludes wheat flour from the main ingredients. Diet pizza dough
One of the most popular and widespread ways to prepare pp dough is to use protein isolate. In this case, your diet pizza will not only contain a minimum of calories, but also a maximum of proteins, which is extremely useful if you want to lose weight.
- 3 tablespoons isolate. It is best to use pure protein without different flavors.
- 4 tablespoons of bran. You can choose the bran as you wish, but ideally it is best to mix several types of bran. Diet dough made from oat bran with the addition of wheat turns out well - this will make the dough more tender and soft. The bran needs to be ground in a coffee grinder so that it completely turns into flour.
- 125 grams of natural yogurt. Use only classic yogurt without additives or fillers. If you wish, you can use low-fat yogurt, this will further reduce the calorie content of the pizza.
- 1 egg
- ½ teaspoon baking powder.
Just mix all the ingredients and knead the dough. Don't forget to add salt and spices to taste. This low-calorie pizza dough can be used if you are on a protein diet. This recipe contains a minimum of calories, but a maximum of protein and fiber.
PP pizza dough made from whole grain flour
Diet pizza can always be made from whole grain flour. True, the number of calories from using such flour will not decrease, but the benefits will be much greater. Whole grain flour is rich in nutrients and minerals, and all because the grain does not lose its shell during processing. This type of flour is made from almost all grain crops, which means you will have a huge choice of flour. To prepare pp dough, you can use either wallpaper flour (coarsely ground with small grains) or finely ground whole grain flour. The most popular varieties of whole grain flour that are used in weight loss are wheat, rye, oat and buckwheat flour.
- 1 glass of kefir. Since this is a diet pizza, we will use low-fat kefir.
- 1 egg
- Any whole grain flour. We will add flour as needed until the dough reaches the desired consistency.
To begin, mix kefir with an egg, add two pinches of salt and gradually add flour until the dough becomes stiff. Place it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes, then roll it out.

Cottage cheese pizza with filling: step-by-step recipe with photos
Cooking process
First, knead the dough based on cottage cheese:
- Place the dairy product in a deep bowl, add the egg to it and mash thoroughly with a fork until smooth.
- Then add both types of flour and mix well. Since cottage cheese comes in different moisture contents, you may need a little less or a little more flour. The dough should not be too sticky, but not too dry.
- Cover the dough with film directly in the plate and set aside for a quarter of an hour. While it settles, prepare the filling.
- Wash the tomatoes and cut into thin slices (circles). We do the same with olives, and simply pass the suluguni through a coarse grater.
- Next, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and sprinkle a little dry oatmeal. Then we wet our hands under water and spread the curd dough. Distribute it on a baking sheet in the shape of a circle. The layer thickness is no more than 7 millimeters.
- Place chopped tomatoes on the base as the first layer, then olives, which we sprinkle with grated suluguni on top.
- Turn on the oven at 180 degrees so that the pizza is baked on both top and bottom. In this mode, keep the dish in the oven for 27–30 minutes.
Instructions
- Pour warm water into a bowl, add sugar and yeast. Leave for 10-15 minutes to activate the yeast.
- As soon as a foam cap appears on the surface of the water, add oil, add salt, mix and add flour.
- Knead into a soft, non-sticky dough, round and place in a clean bowl, the walls of which have been greased with a small amount of oil.
- Cover with cling film and place in a warm place for at least 1 hour - the dough should double in volume.
- Gently knead the risen dough, roll it out into a round layer 3-4 mm thick, place it on a baking sheet - it’s ready, you can add the filling and bake.
- Bon appetit!
