Hello my Dearest Foodies,
Friday is almost here and pizza might be just the perfect idea for your weekend menu. Especially, delicious and highly nutritious one like this! And of course, easy to make! There for, keep that in mind when you do your grocery shopping!
Although, feel free to try different toppings and even vegan cheese, such as Daiya! I am sure it will be all delicious. You may also like to try the toppings I used in my previous SPELT PIZZA.
The most important is that this pizza crust is extremely healthy, since buckwheat is not only gluten free, but it has many other health benefits. You can read about them HERE.
Wish you a happy Friday and wonderful weekend 💚
