Paula Martins, from @viversemtrigo, developed this healthy and very delicious recipe. So, let's go!

Fit pizza ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 30 g olive oil
• 80 g cooked and mashed sweet potato
• 220 g rice flour
• 170 g sweet cassava starch
• 15 g golden flaxseed flour (1 tablespoon)
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup warm water (tolerable to the touch)
• 1/2 tablespoon of dry biological yeast
• 1 tablespoon of demerara sugar

Preparation method

1. First, pre-ferment the dough. To do this, dissolve the yeast and sugar in warm water and let it sit until foam forms. This should take about 10 minutes. Set aside.

2. Mix the golden flaxseed flour with the rice flour.
3. Lightly beat the eggs, olive oil and potato until everything is uniform.
4. Add the yeast foam made during pre-fermentation and mix with the flours and the mixture of eggs, olive oil and potatoes.
5. Gradually add the flour mixture and mix with a fork. When it stops, put your hand in the dough and knead well.
6. Knead well until the dough no longer sticks to your hands.
7. Let it rest for 10 minutes and after that period, roll out the dough on plastic wrap.
8. Place in a pizza pan and pre-bake with your favorite sauce.
9. Pre-bake for 15 minutes in the oven at 200 degrees with the sauce, then fill and finish baking for another 15 or 20 minutes.

The benefits of healthy pizza

This recipe is a great addition to your diet. It helps you break out of your routine and vary your daily meals, and it also has the filling of your choice.

Our tip is to use proteins, such as shredded chicken, to fill your dough. Choosing less fatty cheeses will also help reduce the calorie percentage of your healthy pizza.

Furthermore, this pizza dough is rich in complex carbohydrates, such as sweet potato, an ingredient that gradually increases blood sugar levels. This creates a feeling of fullness in our bodies.

One of the main ingredients in pizza sauce is tomato. Rich in vitamins A, B and C, which have antioxidant properties, it strengthens the immune system and increases antibody levels.

The recipe is simple, rich in fiber, helps reduce high serum lipid levels (cholesterol, triglycerides), regulates bowel function and aids in healthy weight loss when you are already on a balanced diet.

Allow yourself to savor everything

Healthy recipes are a great way to break out of your routine in a healthy way. But that doesn't mean you have to leave traditional recipes aside when you feel the need. After all, healthy recipes are for everyday use. We know that there will come a time when there is no healthy recipe that will satisfy your desire to eat a real Italian pizza, and that's okay!

Therefore, balance is the key to leading a healthy lifestyle and not just following a diet. Don't miss out on incredible moments because you're afraid to eat pizza with friends and family. The food isn't to blame, it's because you eat too much.

Therefore, being aware of who you are and expanding your palate makes a difference in a healthier, more enjoyable life. Who said that health is synonymous with radical or restrictive diets?
