Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball whole wheat pizza dough
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.75 cup low-sodium tomato sauce
- 1 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1 cup button mushrooms, sliced
- 0.5 cup low-sodium ham, diced
- 0.5 cup red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and position the rack in the lower part of the oven.
Roll out the whole wheat pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle and transfer it to a parchment-lined baking sheet or pizza stone.
Brush the rolled-out dough lightly with olive oil, ensuring the edges are well-coated.
In a small pan over medium heat, sauté the minced garlic in the remaining olive oil until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Spread the low-sodium tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the part-skim mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce layer.
Top the cheese with sliced mushrooms, diced ham, and thinly sliced red onion.
Sprinkle dried oregano and black pepper over the toppings.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped basil leaves before slicing and serving.
