Use MH's guide to find the right combination of ingredients for the perfect pizza !!!

STAGE 1
Base wholemeal,saltdough ,wholegrain ,sourdough."Thickness is a good indicator of calorie and carb content,"says New Delhi-based nutritionist Dr Sonia  Kaker ."Go for a wholegrain crust if possible -- the fibre will fill you up and help your digestion ".

STAGE 2

Cheese mozzarella ,ricotta ,mascarpone,Grand Padano gorgonzola .Its the fromagic  ingredient ."Ricotta  is low in fact but wont give you that melty effect ," says Dr Kakar.Try combining mozzarella with a few dollops of ricotta .Then add punch with some finely chopped garlic .

STAGE 3
Veg olives ,red pepper, spinach,red onion artichokes .A well chosen pairing of vegetables  can turn mundane into marvelous toppings ."Red pepper and spinach work well ."says Dr Kakar ."Fibre- rich artichokes are a great way to fill you up without adding flab".

STAGE 4
Meat or fish chicken ,prawns,anchovies, parma ham,salmon when it comes to pizza,the chicken comes first ."prawns are high in cholestrol ,salmon is highest in omega-3s ,but to fill you up   ,you need protein ,so go for shredded chicken ,"says Dr Kakar ."It cooks easily."

STAGE 5
Herbs Oregano ,marjoram, fresh basil ,fresh parsley ,fresh rosemary .Sprinkle on marjoram or oregano before and add a fresh herb when the pizza's done. As a rule,go with basil for Mediterranean flavours ,parsley with oily fish and rosemary for richer toppings like ham.

STAGE 6 
Garnish Extra -virgin olive oil, chilli flakes ,rocket ,sun-dried tomatoes ,jalapenos .Chilli flakes speed up your me metabolism and the olive oil helps process the cancer-fighting lycopene from the tomato sauce.Rocket ups the fibre- and hides burnt bits ,too   ..
