Authentic Italian pizza: How to make your own Italian pizza
The typical pizza scent, which is immediately distributed throughout the apartment through the incomparable combination of crispy baked pizza crust, melted cheese, fruity tomatoes and the right mix of Italian herbs, puts you in a good mood and only arouses the desire for the Italian classic even more!
Whether you want to spend an evening on the sofa, sitting in a cute Italian pizzeria, at sunset on vacation or as a midnight snack after a good party: Pizza always works. However, if you don’t want to throw away all your new year’s resolutions and finally want to follow a healthy diet, you do not have to make pizza disappear from the menu!
Simple & incredibly delicious pizza – easily made at home
Luckily, we love pizza ourselves and have become really good at making simple, yet incredibly delicious pizza at home. The best thing: You don’t have to cancel pizza from the menu if you want to eat healthier, because homemade pizza is far better than the bought one!
In the following, we will introduce you to our favourite recipes of all time: Let the pizza party begin.
Healthy pizza crust variant made from whole grain flour
Did you know that white flour causes a rapid rise in blood sugar levels and the subsequent drop in blood sugar levels causes cravings? If you now want to eat healthier, you can prepare pizza from whole grain flour.
Fortunately, there are so many recipes to make pizza from whole grain flour or at least with a reduced amount of wheat flour. And the best thing is yet to come: It tastes absolutely delicious, and you do not have to sacrifice your beloved pizza taste!
The advantages that whole grain flour brings with it are the high proportion of nutrients and fiber. In contrast to pure types of flour, these are represented in many different ways in whole grain flour and can, for example, support digestion.
Here we have a suitable recipe with whole grain content for you:

How to make low carb cauliflower pizza at home
We love cauliflower pizza as a low carb variation of the Italian classic: You can easily make cauliflower pizza at home and do not need any special equipment. Admittedly, this sounds a bit unusual at first, but you'll see, in the end you can hardly taste the cauliflower and you can enjoy your low carb pizza to the fullest!

Make it pump: high protein pizza crust
For those who, in addition to a healthy diet, have also planned a decent sports program, the High Protein Pizza may be the right thing! But don't worry, it's worth trying out this variant, even for those who don't like sports, because it just tastes really, really good!
Are you now wondering what a high protein pizza looks like? We'll tell you: It is a tuna base pizza, which, as the name suggests, consists mainly of tuna. In contrast to the original pizza, it is a real protein bomb with almost no carbohydrates. In addition, it is also super filling, quick to prepare and requires nothing but tuna, egg and a handful of suitable spices. Due to the typical pizza spices, which you will find in our pizza spice, the tuna loses its taste almost completely and you don't have to be afraid of an unpleasant fish taste!
It is also important to mention that the base has to be baked on its own for a while before it is covered. This step makes it nice and crispy and gives it the stability it needs for the subsequent topping.
Creative topping for every pizza: top it as you like
No matter which pizza base you have chosen, there are almost no limits to your creativity when it comes to the toppings! Everything is possible here, depending on your personal taste preferences. You can either top it with tomato sauce, mozzarella and fresh rocket, or you can choose any vegetables, salami, ham, pineapple, spinach or any other combination.
For a refreshing summer variant, we recommend that you simply use pesto instead of tomato sauce! You can then top it with crunchy green asparagus like with this pizza with green vegetables and enjoy the fresh summer greens immediately!
