Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 0.75 cups Warm water (110°F/45°C)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 6 ounces Low-fat turkey sausage
- 1 cup Low-fat shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Cornmeal (for dusting)
Directions
Step 1
In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil, stirring until a dough forms.
Step 3
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Step 4
While the dough is resting, preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat.
Step 5
Cook the low-fat turkey sausage in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Crumble the sausage into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Step 6
On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a thin, 12-inch circle. Sprinkle a sheet of parchment paper with cornmeal and transfer the dough onto it.
Step 7
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning and garlic powder over the sauce.
Step 8
Top the pizza with the cooked turkey sausage, shredded mozzarella cheese, and fresh basil leaves.
Step 9
Carefully transfer the parchment paper and pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Step 10
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your low-fat thin crust sausage pizza!
