Ingredients

• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 packet Instant yeast
• 1 tablespoon Sugar
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 cup Warm water
• 0.75 cup Salt-free tomato sauce
• 1.5 cups Low-sodium mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 4 ounces Low-sodium ham, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup Green bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 0.5 cup Mushrooms, sliced
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, instant yeast, and sugar. Stir gently and let sit for about 5 minutes, or until foamy.

Step 2

Add 2 cups of flour to the yeast mixture, along with the olive oil. Mix until a sticky dough starts to form.

Step 3

Gradually add the remaining 0.5 cup of flour, mixing until the dough is smooth and elastic. This can take about 5-7 minutes of kneading by hand on a lightly floured surface.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.

Step 5

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

Step 6

Punch down the risen dough and transfer it to a lightly floured surface. Roll it out to a 12-inch circle for a thin crust or to your desired thickness.

Step 7

Transfer the rolled-out dough to a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 8

Spread the salt-free tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.

Step 9

Sprinkle the low-sodium mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.

Step 10

Evenly distribute the sliced low-sodium ham, green bell pepper, and mushrooms over the cheese.

Step 11

Sprinkle the dried oregano, dried basil, onion powder, and garlic powder evenly over the toppings.

Step 12

Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and melted.

Step 13

Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing and serving.
