Tips and Tricks for Perfect Multigrain Pizza

• Warm Place for Rising: Ensure the dough rises in a warm, draft-free area for optimal results.
• Vegetable Crispness: Don’t overcook the vegetables during the stir-frying process; they should retain some crispness.
• Cheese Distribution: Distribute the cheese evenly for a consistent melt.
• Oven Temperature: Ensure your oven reaches the correct temperature for even baking.
• Dough Thickness: Roll the dough to your desired thickness. A thinner crust will be crispier, while a thicker crust will be softer.

Other Variations

• Protein Boost: Add cooked chicken, ground beef, or paneer for extra protein.
• Spice it up: Add chili flakes, or jalapeños for a spicy kick.
• Vegan Option: Use vegan cheese and omit any animal products.
• Herbs: Add fresh basil, or rosemary on top after baking.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve the multigrain pizza hot, straight from the oven.
• Pair it with a fresh green salad for a balanced meal.
• Cut into slices and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce.
