Recipe: Homemade Pizzas

I have a confession. Yesterday I ate a non-clean & lean meal. I did, however, cleanify it up. Recipe below. I was pretty happy with the outcome when I plugged it into micronutrient calculator (about 480 cals for a me-sized serving, consisting of 41% carb, 32% fat, 33% protein)

Homemade Pizzas

Makes ~5 servings (a few slices or 1/2 a medium pizza per serving - see pic on the right for quantity)
Approx micronutrients per serving: 480 cals, 49g carbs, 17g fat, 33g protein, 5g sugar (lovely balance!)

Base: (makes 2 large or 3 medium, thin pizza bases)

• 300g flour - I used a mix of Wholewheat organic flour (90%), ground flaxseed, coconut flour and quinoa because that is what I had in the cupboard
• Yeast
• 15g olive oil or butter
• Pinch of Salt
• Squeeze of honey
• 200ml water

Throw in your breadmaker on pizza setting, or knead together and leave to raise.
Roll out to thin rounds and precook in the oven a little so that the bases don't go soggy when you add the sauce

Toppings: (Really you can add whatever you like, but this is what I added to my pizzas. I just ferret around in the fridge and add on top leftover veg and meat. Pile it high!)

• Tinned chopped tomatoes or passata
• Mozzerella ball
• Dried meats  - I used thinly sliced topside beef as it's healthier than chorizo or salami, my usual go to
• Wilted spinach
• Cooked Courgette
• Bit of grated cheddar

Add all this on top, then throw in the oven again until cooked. Easy... and it tasted so good even the ducks wanted some!

I made myself a smaller pizza than usual, and only ate a couple of slices with a big salad I made to fill up the rest of the plate. So not strictly Clean & Lean because of the gluten, but pretty good otherwise. The rest of the pizza I ate for lunch... yummy!
