Recipe from: @chodakowskaewa‘s book “Fit & Sweet”
Time for another recipe! You may be surprised that i’m putting it in ‘COMFORT FOOD’ section as comfort food is usually associated with carbs 🍕, sugars 🍨 and high calories whereas this is a recipe for a healthy meal but I considered it good for this section for 3 reasons:
1. Healthy food makes you feel better. Your body is stronger having a nutritious meal hence you can do more and you are happier! 💪
2. All the spices used in this meal will bring you to India and its exotic vibes. Your kitchen will smell like holidays (unless you are from India then it will smell like home 😅)! 🕌
3. It is just soooooo delicious! 😋

Time for another recipe for comfort food. And what is best comfort food? Pizza! 🍕
I made dough with Thermomix 5 so you’ll find recipe there but here I’ll post the „normal” version.
Ingredients (for 3 medium or 8 small pizzas):
200ml water 💧
20g yeast
1 teaspoon of brown sugar
300g flour 🍚
15g olive oil
150g tomato puree 🥫
1 pinch of salt
1 pinch of black pepper
2 pinches of herbs – oregano, thyme 🌿🍃
250g cheese (Gouda or Ementaler best) 🧀
10 slices of ham 🥓
50g red bell pepper
50g yellow bell pepper
30-40g mushrooms 🍄
(10 olives – optional)
(50g broccoli – optional)
1. Pour warm water into the bowl, add yeast and brown sugar. Keep stiring. Make sure it is warm.
2. Add flour, olive oil and salt. Mix it and knead the dough.
3. Grease (butter) another bowl and put the dough in it. Cover it with a cloth. Set it aside for 50min for it to grow.
4. Get another bowl (or clean and use the 1st one) and put tomato puree in it. Add salt, black pepper and herbs. Stir. Set aside.
5. Shred cheese on a grinder (if you bought a whole piece)
6. Turn the oven on and set it on 220 .C. Put baking paper on a tinware.
7. Take grown dough and put it on a countertop with flour on it. Depending on what size of pizzas do you want devide the dough into 3 or 8 even parts.
8. Pin out the dough into a circle, about 1cm thick
9. Put the mini pizzas on a tinware, set it 5-7cm aside
10. Put 2 teaspoons of tomato sauce on it, spread it
11. Add shreded cheese on it
12. Put ham, mushrooms and whatever else you want on top
You can put more herbs (oregano or thyme) on top.
KIDS FRIENDLY: You can make pizzas into small faces – use olives as eyes, bell peppers as a smile (red one) and eyebrows (yellow one), a mushroom as a nose and broccoli as hair.
Bake 8-10min.
Enjoy! 😋
