Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Whole wheat pizza dough
- 1 cup Low-sodium tomato sauce
- 1 cup Part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 20 slices Turkey pepperoni slices
- 1 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 1 cup Fresh arugula
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough into a thin circle about 12 inches in diameter.
Transfer the dough to a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet or pizza peel if using a pizza stone.
Spread the low-sodium tomato sauce over the rolled-out dough, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the part-skim mozzarella cheese evenly over the tomato sauce.
Distribute the turkey pepperoni slices evenly over the cheese.
Sprinkle the red chili flakes, garlic powder, and freshly ground black pepper evenly over the top.
Drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil over the assembled pizza.
Transfer the pizza (with the parchment paper) onto the preheated pizza stone, or bake directly on the baking sheet if not using a stone.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and top with fresh arugula and basil leaves.
Let the pizza cool for a couple of minutes before slicing and serving.
