How are Magioni pizza crusts made?

Magioni’s pizza crusts are made with real vegetables. The vegetables are first blanched to preserve as many vitamins as possible. After this, the vegetables are crushed into a puree and added during dough preparation. In this way, the vegetable puree replaces as much as 45% of ordinary wheat flour. Adding raw vegetables to pizza bases is not technically possible, and also not tasty.
