Ingredients

• 250 grams Whole wheat flour
• 7 grams Instant dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 150 milliliters Warm water
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 100 grams Tomato sauce (low-sodium)
• 100 grams Low-fat mozzarella cheese
• 100 grams Cherry tomatoes
• 50 grams Spinach leaves
• 0.5 Red onion
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt.

Step 2

Dissolve the instant dry yeast in the warm water (about 110°F or 43°C) and let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 3

Create a well in the center of the flour mixture, then pour in the yeast mixture and olive oil.

Step 4

Mix the ingredients together until a dough forms. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 8-10 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

Step 5

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rise in a warm place for about 45 minutes to 1 hour or until it has doubled in size.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

Step 7

Punch down the dough to release air and roll it out on a floured surface into a 12-inch round pizza base.

Step 8

Transfer the rolled dough onto a pizza stone or baking sheet.

Step 9

Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza base using a spoon.

Step 10

Sprinkle the low-fat mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

Step 11

Slice the cherry tomatoes in half, and thinly slice the red onion. Arrange these along with the spinach leaves evenly over the pizza.

Step 12

Sprinkle the red pepper flakes, dried oregano, and dried basil over the toppings for added flavor.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the cheese has melted.

Step 14

Remove from the oven, allow it to cool slightly, and then slice and serve immediately.
