Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or a baking sheet inside to heat up.

Step 2

Roll out the whole wheat pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness, aiming for a 12-inch diameter.

Step 3

Brush the rolled-out dough with olive oil and carefully transfer it onto a piece of parchment paper.

Step 4

Spread the low-sodium tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving about half an inch of the edge uncovered for the crust.

Step 5

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the tomato sauce evenly.

Step 6

Arrange the low-sodium salami slices over the cheese, ensuring even distribution.

Step 7

Scatter the sliced red onion and bell pepper over the top of the salami.

Step 8

Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the toppings.

Step 9

Season with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and optional crushed red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.

Step 10

Using the parchment paper, transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.

Step 11

Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 12

Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a couple of minutes.

Step 13

Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving warm.
