Is vegan pizza healthy? ›

Abundance of Nutrients: Vegan pizza allows you to enjoy the abundance of nutrients found in plant-based ingredients. Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and seeds used in vegan pizza are packed with essential vitamins (such as vitamin C, vitamin A, and folate) and minerals (such as potassium, magnesium, and iron).

Add a sprinkling of nutritional yeast flakes, stir for a few minutes, then spoon small amounts of the cream onto your pizza. Don't forget to make a tasty passata, and add your choice of vegetables! For our pizza base, we used our Canterbury Baking School sourdough pizza base recipe.

Pizza is high in saturated fats due to cheese and processed meat toppings, which can increase your cholesterol levels as well as risk for heart disease. Eating three-four slices of pizza or more, on a regular basis, can have detrimental health consequences.

Opt for a thin-crust pizza instead of a deep-dish. Skip the stuffed pizza crusts and dipping sauces. Enjoy your slice of pizza with a side salad or cooked vegetables. Top your pizza with lean protein, like chicken strips, instead of processed meat, like pepperoni.

Double zero flour/Tipo 00 flour

Use Tipo 0 or Tipo 00 flour. Tipo is a grading of flour on the Italian flour scale. And these flours have just the right amount of protein content - around 12.5% for pizza baking.

Bread flour is higher in protein than all-purpose, at around 11 to 13%. Higher protein content means higher gluten content, as we now know, so using bread flour in your pizza dough will result in a stretchy dough that's less likely to tear.
