Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 12-inch whole wheat pizza crust
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup low-sodium tomato sauce
- 4 ounces nitrate-free ham, thinly sliced and diced
- 1 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced
- 0.5 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet inside to heat up.
On a clean surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza crust to your desired thickness.
Brush the crust lightly with olive oil to prevent the sauce from making it soggy.
Spread the low-sodium tomato sauce evenly over the crust, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
Distribute the diced nitrate-free ham evenly over the sauce.
Sprinkle the part-skim mozzarella cheese over the ham, ensuring even coverage.
Layer the fresh spinach on top of the mozzarella cheese; it will shrink as it cooks.
Arrange the sliced red bell pepper and onion on top of the spinach.
Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly across the top of the pizza.
Season the pizza with dried oregano, dried basil, and black pepper.
Carefully transfer the pizza onto the heated pizza stone or baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before cutting into slices.
Serve warm and enjoy your heart-healthy homemade ham pizza.
