I started making pizza base at home a few months back when I made Veg Pizza and loved it so much that I never bothered buying pizza base from the store again. However, I always wanted to try the pizza base with whole wheat flour instead of all purpose flour. This time, I made this whole wheat paneer tikka pizza and it was so delicious and of course healthier, that I have decided to make whole wheat flour base whenever I make Pizza now. Who says Pizza is unhealthy? If you have a whole wheat base with a good collection of toppings of your choice, you can make a perfect complete balanced meal from a Pizza 🙂
