Homemade is best
Making your pizza from scratch means you can control exactly what goes into it. This recipe contains far less sugar and salt than shop bought pizzas and also none of the added nasties such as artificial flavour enhancers or preservatives.
A good source of fibre
Using wholemeal flour in the recipe means it provides a good amount of fibre, important to keep our digestive systems healthy. The natural yoghurt also provides a good source of beneficial calcium, protein and fatty acids.
