Pizza Recipes for Dietary Intolerances
Note: the recipes below are not prepared in our pizzeria. We’re simply happy to share them with the part of our audience who, for nutritional reasons, can’t enjoy a traditional pizza.
Even as Neapolitan pizza makers, it hurts a little to write certain things—but we know how important it is for people who can’t eat a classic pizza due to gluten intolerance (or any of the many other possible intolerances and allergies) to have access to this kind of information today.
These are simple alternatives to a classic pizza base—yet easy to eat, digest and enjoy for many people, including those who are, for example, intolerant to dairy.
With that in mind, we’ve decided to share two different recipes that can replace a classic Neapolitan pizza—at least in terms of look and practicality.
The first recipe comes from the basic guidelines of the Dukan diet and is known as Pizza Protal. The second is a tofu-based pizza base, designed for those who can’t eat many of the ingredients used in the first recipe.
Dukan Diet Recipe – Pizza Protal
PIZZA PROTAL
Prepare the pizza base by mixing 3 tablespoons of oat bran, 3 tablespoons of skimmed milk powder (if you can’t find it, use a couple of tablespoons of regular skimmed milk instead), 1 egg + 1 egg white, a pinch of salt and pepper.
Lightly oil a non-stick pan using a single drop of oil placed on a piece of kitchen paper, then rub it over the bottom of the pan.
Cook the batter for 30 seconds (it should still be slightly runny when you flip it), then turn it with a spatula and cook the other side (be careful—it cooks very quickly).
TOPPING & FINISHING
Turn on the oven grill.
Place the pizza base on a sheet of aluminium foil and top it with 100 g smoked salmon and Vitasnella cottage cheese.
Add basil and a few prawns if you like to be generous.
Place under the grill for 5 minutes, until the cottage cheese melts slightly.
Tofu Pizza Recipe
TOFU PIZZA – BASE INGREDIENTS
- 1 block of tofu (200 g)
- 3 egg whites
- Salt
- Tomato
- Mixed spices
METHOD
Take a 200 g block of tofu and crumble it with a fork. Add the 3 egg whites and a little salt, then bake in the oven at 180°C (356°F) for 20–30 minutes. Alternatively, you can cook it in the microwave or in a non-stick pan.
Once the base is cooked, top it as you like and return it to the oven for a few minutes.
Enjoy your meal!
