Doughnut Light Pizza

Doughnut Light Pizza

    Prepare the Pizza Dough:

  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the 240g pizza dough into a large circle, about 10-12 inches in diameter.

    • Pre-Cook the Pizza Crust:

  • Brush the dough lightly with olive oil and transfer it to a baking tray or pizza stone. Pre-bake the crust for 5-7 minutes until the outer edges are lightly golden but not fully crisp yet (this ensures the crust stays sturdy to hold the salad filling).

    • Add the Pizza Base and Cheese:

  • Remove the dough from the oven. And cut a hole in the centre, reserve and use in another dish. Spread tomato sauce (or pesto) evenly over the base, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella over the sauce, ensuring an even layer. Season with oregano, a pinch of salt, and pepper.

    • Bake the Pizza:

  • Return the pizza to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese has melted and started to bubble. The outer edges should be crispy, and the centre should still have that doughnut shape.

    • Prepare the Salad Filling:

  • While the pizza is baking, assemble the salad: In a bowl, combine the mixed salad greens and tomato slices. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar or lemon juice, and honey/maple syrup (if using). Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat the greens.

    • Assemble the Pizza:

  • Once the pizza is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a minute or two. Place the dressed salad in the centre of the doughnut hole, filling it generously. Sprinkle with shaved parmesan.

    • TIPS

  • Customizing the Salad: Feel free to adjust the salad ingredients based on what’s in season or what you have on hand. Add some avocado, olives, grilled chicken, or roasted vegetables to make it even more filling and flavourful.
  • Crust Options: If you're looking to make the pizza even lighter, you can use whole wheat dough or cauliflower crust for a healthier alternative.
