How to make a whole wheat Veg Pizza from scratch at home
I have tried to make it a healthier pizza and hence used Wheat flour instead of maida (all-purpose flour). This way it is the pizza base is a little dense. You may choose to use maida or a combination of maida and wheat flour too. To understand the process, I am dividing the entire recipe into 3 main parts, making the pizza base, the pizza sauce, and assembling the entire pizza.
Veg Pizza Recipe step 1 – making the pizza base at home
INGREDIENTS to make soft and spongy pizza base bread at home.

The Recipe to Make the pizza base dough
- Mix 1 tsp of sugar with 1 tsp of active dry yeast with warm water and keep it aside for 10 minutes till the solution turns frothy.
- Take 1 cup flour, salt, and oil n a bowl and mix them well
- Add the frothy solution to the flour mixture and mix with a spoon. it will be a sticky mixture.
- Add another cup of flour and kneed well while stretching motion. once it starts sticking, make one big ball.
- rub a little oil and cover it. leave it to rest for 2-2.5 hours till it doubles in volume.
- meanwhile, prepare the pizza sauce.
- Once the dough has risen, knock it down and kneed for 2 more minutes. It is then ready for assembling the pizza (Step 3)

Pizza is my family’s favorite food trust me n though I make it at home often,I don’t make the base and get it ready from the market. Now that I’ve a good recipe, I am going to try it out. Thanks for sharing it.
Wow this is such a yummy recipe. I have already bookmarked this one for myself. I would love to try making this from scratch as it is also so healthy for the family.
I tried it a couple of years ago but it didn’t turn out as good as I was hoping. I guess, I should try this again as this recipe seems easy to follow. Love the pictures too, quite droolworthy 🙂
Wow this recipe stole my heart. My daughter has been craving for pizza for some days. Will surely try this out.
The whole-wheat pizza is healthier than regular white crust, as it offers whole grains and fiber and is digested more slowly than refined grains. Definitely try it.
Whole wheat pizza is the best way to get your child consume healthy food without any fuss. Since it is whole wheat we can give them without guilt.
I have tried whole wheat pizza but the base has a weird taste. Next time I will try your recipe.

Whole wheat pizza sounds delicious and healthy. This is very easy to follow up recipe. Would definitely try out soon.
Pizzas are always great fun and tasty, but in terms of health, they are not so great. This is a really healthy recipe with wheat which apart from taste also is healthy too.
Loved your recipe, Gunjan. My family is a pizza lover and I prefer making wheat flour pizza base at home too. Fresh pizza sauce tastes so good!
Pizza is our family’s fav, never knew we could make thin crust with whole wheat. I got to try out your recipe, well explained and looks super yum
Pizza is my guilty indulgence and i keep off it because of all the maida and preservatives used in the base and the sauces. Your easy to follow recipe will ensure that the pizza is fresh and delicious, and i can indulge without guilt.
This looks wow..and tempting. If the base is Ade with whole wheat, then I won’t mind having a pizza party every weekend. Let me give it a try. I might start with half maida and half aata.
