Ingredients

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 packet active dry yeast
• 1 cup warm water (110°F)
• 1 cup no-sodium tomato sauce
• 1 cup shredded low-sodium mozzarella cheese
• 0.5 cup sliced mushrooms
• 0.5 cup sliced bell peppers
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, dissolve the packet of active dry yeast in 1 cup of warm water and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.

Step 2

Add 2 cups of whole wheat flour, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and 0.5 teaspoon of garlic powder to the yeast mixture. Mix until a dough forms.

Step 3

Transfer the dough onto a lightly floured surface and knead for about 6-8 minutes until smooth and elastic, then place it in a greased bowl and cover with a damp cloth. Let the dough rise in a warm area for about 30 minutes or until it doubles in size.

Step 4

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

Step 5

Punch down the risen dough and roll it out into a rectangle about 1/2 inch thick on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 6

Spread 1 cup of no-sodium tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 7

Sprinkle 1 cup of shredded low-sodium mozzarella cheese over the sauce.

Step 8

Evenly distribute 0.5 cup of sliced mushrooms and 0.5 cup of sliced bell peppers over the cheese.

Step 9

Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of dried oregano and 1 teaspoon of dried basil over the toppings.

Step 10

Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the entire pizza bread.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and the bread crust is golden brown.

Step 12

Let the pizza bread cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
