HOMEMADE WHOLE MEAL THIN CRUST BACON PIZZA

I decided to make this recipe because my son loves pizza a lot and he always ask for it. But instead of making the usual  plain flour, I created it using a whole meal flour. The reason for this is I want a good source of fibre for my son and able to help him with his digestion.

Here are some of the benefits that you can get with the whole meal flour:

One of the main advantages of whole bread is the amount of dietary fiber in it.

The fibers contribute to colon activity and health, prevent constipation and reduce colon cancer risk. They help maintain good levels of cholesterol, lipids and sugar in the blood and lead to a reduced risk of developing type 2 diabetes, and they also have anti-inflammatory properties.

In addition, the fibers contribute to a sense of satiety over time and maintain a healthy body weight.

Other benefits of whole wheat bread

• Requires slower and healthier eating;
• Improve mood and mental abilities due to the presence of dietary fiber and vitamins from group B;
• Carbohydrates release more slowly, resulting in a longer concentration and alertness. 
  By comparison, a sandwich of whole wheat bread will improve concentration for an hour and a half while a chocolate cube will improve the concentration for half an hour. [1]

Luckily when I let my son try it, he loves it straight away and able to finish the whole lot. And now its time for me to share it with you. In fairness this recipe really taste good and I even like it. The ingredients are very simple and the whole process is quick and easy to make. Check out this video how to make it!
