Wholemeal Pizza For Two
Add a little extra love to your meal with these gorgeous heart shaped wholemeal pizzas! They have been shared with us by Sophia Handschuh, the Thermomix Baking Blogger. The wholemeal flour makes the dough richer and more full of flavour. The trick to make the heart shapes equal is to take a piece of A4 paper and fold it in half at the short end. Then cut out half a heart shape towards the folded middle. Unfold and you have a whole heart – simply place it on the pizza dough and cut it out. If you fancy using normal plain flour, simply use 250g of that instead of the wholemeal flour. Should your dough feel a little sticky, add a little flour, but be careful not to add too much or it will be dense.
