Ingredients

• 1 pound Whole wheat pizza dough
• 1 cup Low sodium tomato sauce
• 20 slices Low sodium pepperoni
• 8 ounces Low sodium Italian sausage
• 1.5 cups Part-skim mozzarella cheese
• 1 small Red bell pepper
• 1 small Red onion
• 4 ounces Mushrooms
• 1 teaspoon Oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).

Step 2

If using store-bought pizza dough, allow it to rest at room temperature for 20 minutes while you prepare the toppings.

Step 3

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough into a 12-inch round or to fit your baking sheet. Transfer the dough to a pizza stone or a lightly oiled baking sheet.

Step 4

Spread the low sodium tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.

Step 5

Sprinkle half of the mozzarella cheese over the tomato sauce.

Step 6

In a skillet over medium heat, crumble and brown the low sodium Italian sausage until fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Drain any excess fat.

Step 7

Slice the red onion, red bell pepper, and mushrooms thinly. Distribute the sausage, pepperoni slices, and sliced vegetables evenly on top of the cheese.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese over the toppings.

Step 9

Season the pizza with oregano and freshly ground black pepper.

Step 10

Transfer the pizza to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese has melted and browned slightly.

Step 11

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

Step 12

Garnish with fresh basil leaves.

Step 13

Slice the pizza into 8 slices and serve warm.
