When it comes to ordering pizza from outside, THOUGH it is cheap, I still think homemade whole wheat pizzas adds a full earthy flavor, nutrients and good texture to it, where you can also control the type and amount of cheese and veggies to top it. Of course whats better than a homemade pizza for your family that can be enjoyed guilt free. I added whole wheat along with some white flour and cornmeal for that crunchy texture as adding just or too much of whole wheat can sometimes overpowers the pizza taste entirely. Toppings are little unusual but absolutely yumm & healthy for my family can be altered as per choice. Check it out..
