Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the whole-wheat pizza dough into a 12-inch round.
Brush olive oil evenly over the surface of the dough to create a thin coat.

Carefully transfer the prepared pizza to the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Slice the pizza into wedges and serve warm, enjoying a heart-healthy meal.
