Ingredients
- 1 pound Whole wheat pizza dough
- 0.5 cup Low sodium tomato sauce
- 1 cup Low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 10 pieces Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil spray
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 475 degrees Fahrenheit (245 degrees Celsius) and place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet on the middle rack to heat up as well.
Step 2
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough to a 12-inch circle, about 1/4-inch thick.
Step 3
Transfer the rolled dough onto a piece of parchment paper to make it easier to transfer to the oven later.
Step 4
Spray the dough with a light layer of olive oil spray and then spread the low sodium tomato sauce evenly over the surface, leaving a small border for the crust.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix together the dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the tomato sauce.
Step 6
Evenly distribute the shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Step 7
Transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 8
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a couple of minutes.
Step 9
Scatter fresh basil leaves over the pizza and sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes for added zest.
Step 10
Slice the pizza into 8 pieces and serve immediately.
