Yes, a wholewheat pizza base – never thought I would come to this, but here we are. It’s what kids do to you. This recipe is delightfully easy, the edges crisp up well, and if you roll it out thicker, you would see some bubbles too. Of course, you cannot compare this to a neapolitan crust or something as authentic as that, but it makes a satisfying healthier version. I make this our green pizza – with lots of pesto, a bit of cheese, lots of zucchini ribbons, olives and capers, along with chili oil drizzled generously. baked to perfection within 10 minutes, this is a good one!
