I have seen lots of posts, from facebook to tumblr, recreating the traditional pizzas into a more creative and sometimes healthier one.
My ever so clever mind thought of some ideas in making a healthier pizza. Since I have a bok choy in the fridge, I thought of creating a bok choy (pechay) pizza.
For the dough, I mixed 3 spoon full of flour, a pinch of salt and some seasonings then slowly adding some cold water until I reach the consistency that I need. Since I don't want my dough to rise and to arrive to a thin crust consistency, I did not add yeast to my recipe. Then I rolled it to my desired thickness.
I let the dough rest for a few minutes while I prepare for the toppings.
I chopped shiitake mushrooms and pechay and grated some mozzarella cheese. I spread some catsup in my dough and added the chopped ingredients and topped it with the grated mozzarella. I cracked an egg on top of it and put it inside a preheated oven for about 25 minutes under 160 deg.
Bok Choy or Pechay is a good source of anti-oxidants, Vitamin C, Folic Acid and Potassium with a low carb content. On the other hand, shiitake mushroom, a popular asian ingredient, is a good source iron and protein. It aids in lowering cholesterol as well as aids in boosting your immune system and helps you in your weight loss.
