Ingredients
- 1 ball whole wheat pizza dough
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.75 cup low-sodium tomato sauce
- 1 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup button mushrooms, sliced
- 0.5 cup low-sodium ham, diced
- 0.5 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and position the rack in the lower part of the oven.
Step 2
Roll out the whole wheat pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle and transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza stone.
Step 3
Brush the rolled-out dough lightly with olive oil, ensuring the edges are well-coated.
Step 4
In a small pan over medium heat, sauté the minced garlic in the remaining olive oil until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 5
Spread the low-sodium tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Step 6
Sprinkle the part-skim mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce layer.
Step 7
Top the cheese with sliced mushrooms, diced ham, and thinly sliced red onion.
Step 8
Sprinkle dried oregano and black pepper over the toppings.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown.
Step 10
Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped basil leaves before slicing and serving.
