Whole Wheat Margherita Pizza Homemade Pizza Crust Made With Whole Wheat How To Make Whole Wheat Margherita Pizza From Scratch Egg Free Whole Wheat Pizza

My little one is a picky eater but his LOVES for pizza is so big that at times on our vacation, we end up eating pizza for all three meals a day. 🙁 And not any pizza, it has to be his all time favorite – margherita pizza. I guess the sight and smell of pizza makes my cuties ? little tummy growl. And why not? I mean come on – that crispy crust, gooey melted cheese topped with lots of veggies can make anyone go weak on their knees. And now I am craving for one.  😎 

Now, onto the recipe! Let’s talk about the base first. Base is made with 100% whole grain white wheat flour, yeast and water. It’s my go-to pizza dough recipe that taste wonderful and is so much healthy. Healthy as in, no preservatives and no un-pronounced ingredients goes in the dough. If you want the recipe, check out this post.  Let’s move on to the sauce. I have topped my pizza with homemade marinara sauce as it adds tons of flavor to this pizza but any store bought pizza sauce will work just fine.  In my previous pizza post, I had mentioned that I like to slightly bake my pizza before topping it with sauce. This way I get a nice cooked base instead of a sloppy one. A base adds an important layer of flavor and that’s the reason I prefer it cooked, before anything goes on it. But this step is optional and can be skipped.  Moving on to the toppings ! Secret to a best Margherita pizza – keep it simple. Less toppings = more flavor. The key toppings for this whole wheat margherita pizza are sliced tomatoes, freshly teared up basil leaves and fresh mozzarella. Fresh mozzarella adds a great taste and a creamy texture to this pizza. No matter what toppings you add to this pizza, I promise you are going to love it! Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese begins to bubble and caramelize around the center. Depending on your oven, cooking time may vary. One last thing, top the perfectly baked pizza with some hand-teared basil leaves for an extra burst of flavor.  Whether it’s a weeknight dinner, or you have friends over for a game, this easy whole wheat margherita pizza is always a d-licious choice.
