Ingredients

• 1 ball Whole wheat pizza dough
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 1 cup Salt-free tomato sauce
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
• 1 large Fresh tomato, sliced
• 0.5 medium Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• 1 cup Mushrooms, sliced
• 0.5 small Onion, thinly sliced
• 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet in the oven to heat up.

Step 2

While the oven is preheating, prepare the marinara sauce by combining the salt-free tomato sauce, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, and crushed red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.

Step 3

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.

Step 4

Brush the rolled-out dough with olive oil, then spread the prepared marinara sauce evenly over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 5

Arrange the sliced fresh tomato, red bell pepper, mushrooms, and onion evenly over the sauce.

Step 6

Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the vegetables.

Step 7

Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the assembled pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.

Step 8

Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.

Step 9

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
