Ingredients

• 1 cup Warm water
• 1 teaspoon Active dry yeast
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt substitute (potassium chloride)
• 0.75 cup Low-sodium tomato sauce
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 10 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 1.5 cups Low-moisture, part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 20 slices Turkey pepperoni, low sodium
• 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

In a small bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and honey. Stir lightly and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes foamy.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt substitute. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.

Step 3

Mix with a spoon until the dough begins to come together. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth and elastic.

Step 4

Form the dough into a ball and place it in an oiled bowl, covering it with plastic wrap or a damp cloth. 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 in the oven to heat up.

Step 6

Once the dough has risen, punch it down to release air and then roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness.

Step 7

Place the rolled-out dough on a piece of parchment paper. Spread the low-sodium tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a border around the edges for the crust.

Step 8

Sprinkle the dried oregano over the sauce. Tear and scatter fresh basil leaves over the pizza.

Step 9

Evenly distribute the shredded mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce and basil.

Step 10

Arrange the turkey pepperoni slices evenly over the cheese and sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes for extra heat.

Step 11

Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.

Step 12

Remove the pizza from the oven, let it cool for a few minutes, and then cut it into slices. Serve immediately and enjoy your spicy, low sodium treat!
