Ingredients

• 300 grams Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Active dry yeast
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 250 milliliters Warm water
• 200 grams Tomato passata
• 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 100 grams Low-fat mozzarella cheese
• 1 for spraying Olive oil spray
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 pinch Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, mix together 300 grams of whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon of active dry yeast, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of salt.

Step 2

Create a well in the center and gradually add 250 milliliters of warm water, stirring with a spoon until the dough starts to come together.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Shape the dough into a ball and place it in a lightly greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 60 minutes or until it doubles in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to the highest setting, usually around 250°C (482°F). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into two equal pieces.

Step 7

Roll each piece of dough out on a floured surface until you reach your desired thickness for the pizza crust.

Step 8

Place the rolled-out dough on a sheet of parchment paper for easy transfer to the oven.

Step 9

Spread 100 grams of tomato passata over each rolled dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 10

Evenly distribute 50 grams of shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese over each pizza.

Step 11

Spray each pizza lightly with olive oil spray and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano and a pinch of black pepper.

Step 12

Transfer the pizzas to the oven (placing on a hot pizza stone if available) and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves.

Step 14

Slice and serve immediately.
