how to make homemade pizza Archives - Make Healthier Choices

Okay, I admit pepperoni isn’t exactly the healthiest food around, but it might be my favorite pizza topping. Honestly, pizza isn’t necessarily the healthiest choice either. Homemade and with healthier ingredients it can, at least, be eaten with less guilt. Who doesn’t love pizza, right?

This pizza dough recipe is easy to make using a food processor. Jovial’s Einkorn wheat contains a small amount of gluten, is our only wheat that’s not been hybridized and it is NOT sprayed with glyphosate (the active ingredient in Roundup).

Secrets to the best pizza dough: Use high-quality, all-purpose, glyphosate-free wheat flour and do NOT let the dough rise before baking.

Make sure you use glyphosate-free flour made from wheat that has NOT been hybridized, if you want the best health benefit . I use Jovial’s Einkorn Organic Flour. In fact, it says right on their package, “NATURE’S ORIGINAL WHEAT & the only one never hybridized.” I hope you’ve had a chance to read Are You Still Eating Wheat?
