Whole Wheat Veggie Cottage Cheese Pizza

How about some healthy pizza. The whole wheat pizza is soft and chewy on the inside and crisp on the outside. I have used an Indian topping with cottage cheese also called as paneer.

The topping is tomato based and it goes well with the whole wheat pizza crust.

100% healthy version of pizza. Hope you like it.

Form the dough into a uniform ball in the center of the bowl. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and keep in a warm place until the dough has doubled in size, about 2 hours.

Brush the base with oil. Preheat the oven at 180 degree Celsius for 10 minutes.
