These are eaten almost everyday by most people in India. Since, it&#8217;s wheat flour and not white flour it&#8217;s more healthy.<\/p>\n<p>My man and I love pizza. Who doesn&#8217;t like pizza??? Well, I know someone who doesn&#8217;t like pizza, that happens to be my darling niece. Whenever she sees pizza, she would say right way without any hesitation that &#8216;Pizza is bad for your health&#8217;. Sigh, I cannot agree more with her. Since, pizza is made with white flour it is quite unhealthy if you\u00a0eat on a regular basis.<\/p>\n<p>So, the other day when I made pizza, I made sure that I make a healthy pizza. As usual, I made the pizza\u00a0dough from scratch, but this time I used\u00a0wheat flour or durum atta flour instead of all purpose flour. I was a bit skeptical\u00a0about how the dough would turn out. To my surprise, the wheat dough\u00a0raised well and the pizza topped with chicken came out of the oven baked perfectly.<\/p>\n<p>Quite healthy and tastes delicious&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a

minutes.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">After 10 minutes, add the salt and oil to the yeast.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">In a large bowl, pour the yeast solution and slowly add the flour and knead.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">It will be sticky in the beginning, after you add the entire flour you\u2019ll find it easy to knead.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Knead the dough well, it should be soft and smooth, don\u2019t add too much flour and make it into a hard dough.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Place the dough in a bowl greased with oil and cover the dough with a damp towel , keep aside in a warm place for 1 hour.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Or you could- preheat the oven at the lowest temperature for 5 minutes, turn off the heat and place the dough in the oven, this will speed up the leavening.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Do not cover the dough with wet kitchen paper towels, after an hour it will be stuck to the dough and will be very hard to peel it off.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">In the meantime you could start making the chicken filling and have everything ready.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">After an hour, the dough must have doubled in size.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Combine the dough well and let it sit for a few minutes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]Making the chicken topping[\/b]<\/div>\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Place a pan over medium heat, add oil.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add onion, season with salt and cook till translucent.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add diced chicken, season with ground pepper and cook covered till the chicken has cooked well.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add green pepper and red or yellow pepper, combine well and cook for a few minutes. Don&#8217;t over cook the veggies.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add chili powder, garam masala, soy sauce and tomato sauce. Combine well and cook for a couple of minutes.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Add green onions and combine well.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Remove the pan from the heat and let cool down.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<div class=\"ERSeparator\">[b]Making pizza[\/b]<\/div>\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Preheat the oven to 425 F or 220 C.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Grease the round pizza pan with non-stick cooking spray.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Place the dough over it and using your hands stretch the dough to a round shape.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">After rolling the dough, let it stand for 10 minutes on the pan.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Spread the prepared chicken-pepper topping over the rolled dough, top with pickled jalape\u00f1os, sprinkle chopped cilantro and generously sprinkle cheddar or mozzarella cheese over it.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Bake for 20 minutes, keeping the pan on the lower rack of the oven until the cheese has melted and the curst has cooked well.<\/li>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Take the pan out of the oven, slice it and indulge in this healthy wheat pizza.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"ERNutrition\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"endeasyrecipe\" style=\"display: none;\">3.2.2885<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Wheat flour or atta flour or durum atta\u00a0is used for making the pizza dough, wheat pizza crust is topped with chicken and baked to perfection&#8230;healthy and delicious pizza!
