Ingredients

• 1 pound Whole wheat pizza dough
• 1.5 cups Low fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.75 cup Tomato sauce, low sodium
• 6 slices Turkey bacon
• 0.5 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped
• 0.25 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 up.

Step 2

Roll out the whole wheat pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a thin circle, approximately 12 inches in diameter.

Step 3

In a nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey bacon slices until crispy, about 6-8 minutes. Once cooked, set the bacon on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat and cool slightly, then chop into bite-sized pieces.

Step 4

Carefully remove the hot pizza stone or baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle lightly with flour to prevent sticking.

Step 5

Transfer the rolled-out dough onto the prepared hot surface, stretching it if needed to fit.

Step 6

Brush the top of the dough with the olive oil, then spread the tomato sauce evenly over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.

Step 7

Sprinkle the dried oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper evenly over the sauce.

Step 8

Evenly scatter the low fat mozzarella cheese over the pizza sauce layer.

Step 9

Distribute the cooked turkey bacon pieces and sliced red onion evenly over the cheese.

Step 10

Place the pizza in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese has melted completely.

Step 11

Once cooked, remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before garnishing with the fresh chopped basil leaves.

Step 12

Slice the pizza into 8 pieces and serve warm. Enjoy your low fat classic bacon pizza!
