Special Ingredients
Unlike classic pizza, diet pizza does not contain gluten, a protein found in wheat and barley. In combination with water, it makes baked goods soft, fluffy and very high in calories. PP pizza is safe for consumption and recommended for weight loss. It is ideal for breakfast or as a snack, but most importantly, it does not add extra pounds.
Tips for choosing ingredients and making low-calorie pizza:
- Replace wheat flour with coarse whole grain flour: rye, rice, corn, buckwheat, etc. You can use oat mixture and bran.
- Buy hard or low-fat varieties of cheese: tofu, mozzarella, ricotta, etc. They contain an average of 200 kcal per 100 g, and other types of cheese - at least 350.
- Roll out the dough as thin as possible.
- Replace fatty meats, smoked meats and sausage with boiled turkey, chicken fillet, veal, rabbit or seafood.
- Add a lot of vegetables and herbs to the filling.
- Choose only fresh or frozen foods and avoid canned and salted foods.
- Replace mayonnaise and ketchup with natural sauce made from tomato paste, low-fat sour cream and yogurt.
- Give preference to olive oil, but it is better to cook without it altogether.
There are many options for preparing diet pizza: in the oven, slow cooker, microwave, frying pan or grill. We have prepared for you some of the most popular and delicious recipes for this popular dish.

Benefits and harms
The main secret of preparing a dietary version of the Italian snack is the low-calorie dough. It often consists of wheat flour, which contains a lot of calories and carbohydrates, which automatically becomes a real threat to your figure.
In addition, this component contains almost no fiber, and it is recommended to include it in the diet of those who are trying to become slim. It is for this reason that pizza base is best baked from coarse whole grain wheat flour, because... it contains more useful substances.
And also while kneading the flatbread, cooks add eggs to the dough, which are rich in their chemical composition. They improve the taste of the dish and give it porosity, but increase the calorie content of the dish. Therefore, with proper nutrition, it is not recommended to abuse this product.
For the same reason, it is not advisable to use the following components when preparing the base:
- milk;
- mayonnaise;
- butter;
- kefir with a high percentage of fat content.
