Ingredients

• 1 large ball (enough for a 12-inch pizza) Low sodium pizza dough
• 0.5 cup No salt added tomato sauce
• 1.5 cups Reduced sodium mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 4 slices Low sodium bacon
• 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 0.5 cup Cherry tomatoes, sliced
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and if using a pizza stone, place it in the oven while preheating.

Step 2

Cook the low sodium bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crisp. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels. Once cooled, crumble the bacon into pieces.

Step 3

Roll out the low sodium pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to roughly a 12-inch circle.

Step 4

Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a piece of parchment paper for easy transfer to the oven.

Step 5

Spread the no salt added tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving about half an inch around the edge for the crust.

Step 6

Sprinkle the reduced sodium mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.

Step 7

Distribute the crumbled low sodium bacon over the cheese.

Step 8

Arrange the cherry tomato slices and fresh basil leaves evenly over the top.

Step 9

Drizzle the assembled pizza with olive oil and season with dried oregano and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 10

Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the hot pizza stone in the oven, or place the pizza directly on a baking sheet if not using a pizza stone.

Step 11

Bake the pizza for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.

Step 12

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
