Ingredients

• 2.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 1 packet (2 1/4 teaspoons) Instant yeast
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.75 cup Warm water (110°F)
• 1 cup No salt added tomato sauce
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Dried basil
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 cup Shredded low sodium mozzarella cheese
• 1.5 cups Fresh vegetables of choice (e.g., sliced bell peppers, mushrooms, onions)
• 0.25 cup Fresh basil (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, instant yeast, and sugar.

Step 2

Add warm water and olive oil to the dry ingredients, stirring until the mixture forms a sticky dough.

Step 3

Transfer the dough to a floured work surface and knead for about 5-7 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp towel, and let it rise in a warm spot for about 30 minutes 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 up.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, transfer it back to the floured work surface and roll it into a 12-inch circle or your preferred pizza shape.

Step 7

Carefully transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper for easier handling.

Step 8

Spread the no salt added tomato sauce evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 9

Sprinkle dried oregano, dried basil, and garlic powder over the sauce for added flavor.

Step 10

Top the pizza with shredded low sodium mozzarella cheese, followed by your choice of fresh vegetables.

Step 11

Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.

Step 12

Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 13

Remove the pizza from the oven, sprinkle with fresh basil if desired, and let it cool for a couple of minutes before slicing into 4 servings.

Step 14

Serve warm and enjoy a delicious low sodium pizza!
