today's video is part of the hashtag
0:02
lovey your heart collaboration and you
0:05
can check out all other videos from
0:08
these other collaborators on how to
0:11
enjoy food but still take care of your
0:14
heart because I'm sure I don't have to
0:17
tell you you need your heart but you
0:20
also need pizza at least I do so how are
0:23
we going to strike a balance well if you
0:27
have been following my pizza videos for
0:31
the napolitana style dough at the very
0:34
least then you already have a great
0:38
start and let me tell you why so my
0:44
starter a poolish starter which ferments
0:48
for 18 hours and then when you make the
0:50
actual dough by combining it with flour
0:55
water yeast and the starter with some
1:00
then that dough ferments for a further
1:05
48 hours at the very least now it's good
1:09
for you because the fermentation process
1:11
literally breaks down the carbs that are
1:15
in the actual food and makes it easier
1:19
for you to digest not just that even
1:22
nutrients and minerals that are in the
1:24
food like let's say zinc or iron it
1:28
makes it more readily available for your
1:31
body to absorb the fermentation
1:34
also makes the dough probiotic so you
1:38
don't like those yogurts you buy well if
1:40
you ferment your dough before let's
1:42
turning it into a pizza or a sour dough
1:45
or anything else that's fermented for
1:47
some time you're kind of getting the
1:51
same effect you're getting some nice
1:55
microbiome in your system you're getting
1:58
good bacterias in your gut which in turn
2:02
just helps support your immune function
2:04
now if you have some blood sugar issues
2:06
and you worried that having fermented uh
2:09
dough or bread maybe fermented dough
2:13
it'll increase your blood sugar like
2:16
spike it don't worry about that either
2:18
because fermentation lowers the glycemic
2:20
index of the actual flour of the of the
2:24
dough and you will not see huge spikes
2:29
of your blood sugar levels either
2:31
fermentation doesn't automatically turn
2:34
the pizza healthy the dough is healthy
2:38
but the pizza you still have to be smart
2:40
about because you can still ruin all
2:42
these good things if you put a lot of
2:45
bad things on the pizza and of course
2:48
everything that I'm saying here I will
2:50
have references in the description for
2:53
it as well and the First Choice comes
2:56
with lean proteins if you are looking to
2:59
get a nice dose of protein from your
3:01
pizza and that comes with chicken and
3:04
it's a simple recipe a tiny bit of oil
3:08
salt pepper and a nice fat chicken
3:11
breast you want to cook that on each
3:14
side until it's golden brown if you want
3:18
you can get the color quickly and pop it
3:20
in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes at 350 F
3:22
night whatever you want to do cook that
3:25
chicken and I was saying be smart with
3:28
what you put on the pizza to keep it
3:31
good for you keep it heart healthy so
3:35
homemade as much as you can so homemade
3:38
sauce it's just literally Tomatoes Touch
3:42
of oil garlic which is great for you
3:45
plus the tomatoes themselves have a
3:47
bunch of antioxidants and vitamins that
3:49
are good for you now I'm sure you know
3:51
how to get the pizza from the baking
3:54
sheet to your work top to the pizza peel
4:00
but if not here's a quick review so
4:03
essentially you need a dusting mixture
4:06
with smolina and flour what we used to
4:08
make the dough and then use that to help
4:11
scrape the pizza out of the baking sheet
4:14
and then plop it on the pile of your
4:16
dusting mixture a b scraper works great
4:20
then tone the dough Pat it out from the
4:23
middle going towards the outside of the
4:26
pizza and then start spreading it out a
4:29
napolitana style pizza with double O
4:31
flour will be very easy to spread and
4:34
you will need barely any effort then the
4:37
homemade sauce goes on
4:39
top and the most important part of a
4:42
pizza is something that you have to
4:44
sacrifice on a little bit well the
4:47
second most important part cuz I think
4:49
the crust is the number one most
4:51
important part of a pizza second thing
4:53
is cheese and you cannot load it up with
4:56
cheese you can't do that yeah have to
5:00
put much less cheese and for a pizza
5:02
that's about 8 9 in like mine about a
5:06
cup of cheese is all you're going to get
5:08
along with some chicken that I've cubed
5:12
here then onions peppers a little bit of
5:16
tomatoes and I'm also going to drizzle
5:18
some olive oil on the top now if had in
5:22
proper amounts olive oil also can be
5:24
really good for you and promote heart
5:26
health because it has healthy fats that
5:30
help reduce bad cholesterol and increase
5:33
good cholesterol give that pizza a nice
5:37
Shake make sure nothing is stuck on the
5:39
peel and then pop it in the oven under
5:42
the broiler the oven has been heating at
5:44
500 fahit for about an hour and the
5:47
broiler has been on for the past 5
5:49
minutes just to get that top stone or
5:52
the top steel nice and hot to cook the
5:55
bottom of the crust just make sure to
5:57
turn it 30 seconds to a minute in
6:00
and then once you have some nice color
6:02
on the top you can go lighter in color
6:05
on the crust or you can go darker I felt
6:07
like going a bit darker today so that's
6:09
what I did and then finish cooking the
6:11
pizza by transferring it to the bottom
6:13
stone for the crust at the bottom and a
6:16
little brush of garlic oil on the sides
6:22
anybody you need to like your Healthy
6:25
Pizza too now I'm going to top it off
6:29
with some arugula which again is very
6:31
low in calories very um high in volume
6:35
so you feel Fuller so you can use that
6:37
to fool yourself and to think that you
6:39
had more than you actually did it also
6:41
adds a nice crunch to the pizza and
6:44
that's incredible amounts of nitrates
6:47
potassium which helps lower your blood
6:50
pressure and it promotes blood
6:52
circulation there's other things like
6:54
calcium magnesium vitamin K Vitamin A C
7:00
helping with blood pressure and prevents
7:03
aging apparently I'm a bit doubtful
7:05
about that one is better on your body so
7:08
it just doesn't work as hard and that's
7:11
how it's preventing aging not like
7:13
actually reverse aging like Benjamin
7:16
Button now even though this pizza in
7:21
healthier you're not going to be eating
7:24
all of it unless I guess you're 8 n ft
7:27
right like everything needs to be in
7:30
moderation and if you clicked on this
7:31
video you're likely looking for a
7:33
healthier option for a pizza and excess
7:37
will kill right so don't have all of it
7:41
and I'm not going to tell you how many
7:42
slices you need to eat either so you
7:45
have your own body you have your own
7:47
calorie requirements you have your own
7:49
activity that you do in a day which
7:52
dictates your calorie requirements so
7:56
use the nutrient sheet it's a pretty
7:58
good estimate of how many calories fats
8:01
carbs whatever are in this pizza and
8:04
then be smart about it and that's how
8:09
you can use Pizza I know mind-blowing to
8:13
promote heart health don't have this
8:16
every day either variety is also good
8:18
for you but that's more of a general
8:20
topic not for heart health but let me
8:23
know what you think in the comment
