Ingredients

• 3 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 package (2 1/4 teaspoons) Active dry yeast
• 1 cup Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 cup No-salt-added tomato sauce
• 8 ounces Fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
• 1 cup Fresh basil leaves
• 2 medium Fresh tomatoes, sliced
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl or stand mixer, dissolve the active dry yeast and honey in warm water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes or until frothy.

Step 2

Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and gradually mix in the all-purpose flour, creating a soft dough.

Step 3

Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. Alternatively, use a stand mixer with a dough hook.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a clean 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) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat.

Step 6

Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a floured surface to form a 12-inch circle.

Step 7

Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a piece of parchment paper for easy handling.

Step 8

Spread the no-salt-added tomato sauce evenly over the base, leaving a border for the crust.

Step 9

Arrange the fresh mozzarella slices and tomato slices evenly over the sauce.

Step 10

Sprinkle garlic powder, dried oregano, and black pepper evenly over the top.

Step 11

Carefully transfer the pizza with the parchment paper onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately top with fresh basil leaves.

Step 14

Let it cool slightly before slicing and serving. Enjoy your low-sodium pizza!
