This delicious unofficial Slimming World Pepperoni Pizza is the closest to the authentic dish, but uses wholemeal dough as your Healthy Extra B.
Ever since Dominos pizza opened a franchise down the road from us, I actually got scared.
Yes, they're pricey, but they're also convenient and one of the takeaways I've struggled to say no to when my fiance offered it as a suggestion.
The thing is, I know I'm not sensible with pizza. We'll order a Joey special: two pizzas, but between two of us on the basis we'll leave a full one for the day after. This NEVER happens.
If you're not following a Slimming World plan, you may also like my thin crust pizza dough recipe here.
So, how do I stay strong? I take a stab at making my own for the first time that isn't a smash pizza. YUCK.
If I'm going to satisfy my pizza cravings, I'm going to do it properly.
Although I did cheat on the pizza sauce, so please forgive me. There's not always enough hours in the day while I DIY behind the scenes but the challenge is trying to stay lean at the same time.
It's a misconception that pizza, or any kind of dough making takes ages. I really don't think this is the case.
The time is mostly spent letting the yeast do the work for you. As long as I've set a timer, I can go back to normal duties while I wait.
And the financial savings compared to a Dominos is astronomically different.
Wholemeal Bread Mix I Used

So, let's talk bread or dough mix.
For months, I kept going in to Asda looking for their wholemeal bread mix (that apparently could be used as part of your Healthy Extra B). Sadly, it seemed to be always sold out and I've only just discovered that it can't be used as part of your HE B anyway.
But thankfully you can use Aldi's The Pantry Wholemeal Brown Bread Mix. Just check your Slimming World members app or ask your consultant!
But, the question was: how much can you use per person without having to weigh it AFTER cooking?
There was no way I wanted to tear up some cooked pizza dough with no toppings. It's a big ask of me to destroy a perfectly good base that needed cooking without toppings.
So, I turned to my Slimming World support group and have been informed it is 47g each in its raw flour state. *Please note, this may no longer be the case, so I am classifying it as unverified information.

📖 Recipe
Unofficial Slimming World Pepperoni Pizza
Equipment
Ingredients
- Frylight
- 188 g Aldi's The Pantry Crusty Wholemeal Bread Mix *47g Per Person as part of your allowance
- 128 g (not ml) Luke warm water
- 3 tablespoon tomato puree
- 2 tablespoon water
- ½ teaspoon basil
- 1 22.5g stick Original or Hot Pepperami Thinly sliced *to be counted
- 40 g Lighter Cathedral City Mature Cheddar - Grated *to be counted or used as your allowance
Instructions
- Preheat your oven at 200 degrees.
- Firstly, follow the bread mix at the back of the packet. (I personally mix everything together and knead in the bowl for 10 minutes as the flour at the bottom prevents the dough ball from sticking. Then cover with clingfilm and leave in my warmish conservatory. This should take about an hour or 2.
- Once it's doubled in size, knock out the air and knead again for about 5 minutes until all stretchy and pliable.
- Now line a large baking tray with baking paper and spray with frylight.
- Transfer the dough on to the sprayed sheet and flatten with a rolling pin until you can get the largest pizza base possible. Don't worry about it being thin - it will still rise.TIP: Sometimes I form a base by holding it in the air and stretching and rotating before using the rolling pin method.
- Now mix the tomato puree with the water and basil and spoon on top of the pizza base.
- Sprinkle the grated cheese on top and finally the sliced pepperami and bake for 12 minutes.
- Cut in to 8 slices on the basis 4 people have two slices each.
