Pizza is considered one of the most favorite dishes for many. But can it be called healthy?
Therefore, it is worth figuring out how to make pizza on kefir, which will be low-calorie and even healthy. Of course, we are talking only about the base, so the choice of filling should also be approached responsibly.
What is needed for cooking
Before you start making pizza with kefir, you need to prepare all the necessary ingredients:
- 1.5 cups of kefir;
- 2 cups flour (you can use wheat or rye);
- 1 egg;
- 1 teaspoon baking powder;
- half a teaspoon of soda;
- spices to your taste.
The filling is optional, but here you should definitely be rational. The ideal addition to such a pizza would be:
1. Tomatoes.
2. Peppers.
3. Olives.
4. Chicken fillet.
5. Cheese and others.
When choosing a filling, you should definitely consider its usefulness and calorie content.
How to prepare the dough
First, in a deep bowl, you need kefir with an egg. Then gradually add flour, baking powder, salt and soda, mixing thoroughly to avoid lumps. When the dough becomes smooth and homogeneous, it should be left for 15-20 minutes to rest.
Preheating the oven
The oven should be turned on and heated to 200 degrees Celsius. Important condition: the oven should be well heated. If this is not done, there will be no point in talking about proper cooking.
How to shape pizza
The dough must be rolled out on a baking sheet, previously sprinkled with flour to prevent sticking.
Thin dough usually turns out crispier. Be careful when shaping. After that, you can put the desired filling on the base.
How long to bake
The pizza should definitely be placed in a preheated oven. Baking time is about 25 minutes.
However, it is important to understand that cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the pizza and the amount of toppings.
