Ingredients

• 300 grams All-purpose flour
• 100 grams Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 300 milliliters Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 200 grams Tomato sauce
• 150 grams Low-fat mozzarella cheese
• 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 medium Roma tomatoes

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, instant yeast, and salt.

Step 2

Gradually add the warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, mixing until a rough dough begins to form.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a lightly floured surface and knead for about 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and allow it to rise in a warm area for about 1 hour, or until doubled in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F) and lightly oil a rectangular baking tray.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, punch it down gently to release air and stretch it evenly across the oiled baking tray, pressing it out to fill the edges.

Step 7

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 8

Sprinkle the onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, crushed red pepper, and black pepper over the tomato sauce.

Step 9

Thinly slice the roma tomatoes and distribute them evenly over the pizza base.

Step 10

Sprinkle the low-fat mozzarella cheese over all toppings.

Step 11

Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 12

Remove from the oven and immediately scatter the fresh basil leaves over the top.

Step 13

Allow the pizza to cool slightly before slicing into squares and serving.
