Ingredients

• 1 ball Whole wheat pizza dough
• 1 cup Tomato sauce, no salt added
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 cups Fresh spinach
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, part-skim
• 4 slices Prosciutto
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
• 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.

Step 2

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough into a thin round, about 12 inches in diameter.

Step 3

Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the tomato sauce with the minced garlic and olive oil. Spread this mixture evenly over the surface of the pizza dough, leaving a small border for the crust.

Step 5

Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese over the tomato sauce, ensuring an even distribution.

Step 6

Tear the prosciutto into smaller pieces and arrange it evenly over the cheese layer.

Step 7

Add the fresh spinach, cherry tomatoes, and red onion evenly across the pizza.

Step 8

Sprinkle the dried oregano, red pepper flakes, and black pepper over the top to add flavor.

Step 9

Using the parchment paper, carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.

Step 10

Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.

Step 11

Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 12

Scatter fresh basil leaves over the pizza before slicing it into eight pieces.

Step 13

Serve hot, and enjoy your heart-healthy pizza!
