Ingredients

• 1 pound Whole wheat pizza dough
• 1 cup Low-fat pizza sauce
• 1.5 cups Part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 20 pieces Turkey pepperoni slices
• 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 5 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 1 spray Olive oil spray
• 1 tablespoon Cornmeal (for dusting)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or a baking sheet inside to heat up.

Step 2

Lightly dust a clean counter or surface with cornmeal. Roll out the whole wheat pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or your desired shape.

Step 3

Carefully remove the heated pizza stone or baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle it with a little cornmeal to prevent sticking. Transfer the pizza dough onto the stone or sheet.

Step 4

Spread the low-fat pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about half an inch around the edges for the crust.

Step 5

Sprinkle the part-skim mozzarella cheese on top of the sauce, covering it evenly.

Step 6

Arrange the turkey pepperoni slices over the cheese, ensuring even distribution.

Step 7

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning over the top for added flavor.

Step 8

If you like a bit of heat, sprinkle the red pepper flakes evenly over the pizza (optional).

Step 9

Lightly spray the crust edges with olive oil spray to help them turn golden brown during baking.

Step 10

Bake the pizza in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the crust is golden brown.

Step 11

Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing.

Step 12

Slice into 8 pieces, serve immediately, and enjoy your tasty low-fat pepperoni pizza!
