Buckwheat Crust Pizza

Who ever said Pizza was not healthy?

Who ever did clearly never tried Buckwheat crust! Holy Hannah, this was amazing.  Different, I will admit, but amazing.  Traditionally buckwheat crust is made using buckwheat flour, but I wanted to try it with cooked buckwheat and flour instead and it turned out great!

Once you try this you will open a whole knew world to {healthy} pizza.  It is an easy weeknight staple, and can be made with such delicious, nutritious and colourful ingredients! The beautiful thing about pizza is you can basically put anything on it, and it will still probably taste damn good.  As you can see I have not added cheese, but who I am to tell you what to do! If you want cheese, go for it!

This recipe is:

• Healthy
• Crunchy
• Guilt free
• And will probably keep you coming back for more!

6. Now roll into a large crust, I easily used my hands to form the crust, just make sure it isn’t to thick

8. FOR BAKED PIZZA TOPPINGS: bake the crust for 10 minutes at 375C, then add your toppings and bake for another 25 minutes at 375C!
