Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Whole wheat pizza dough
- 2 cups Arugula
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup Low-fat mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a baking sheet or pizza stone in the oven to heat.
Roll out the whole wheat pizza dough on a floured surface to your desired thickness. Transfer the rolled dough onto a piece of parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Brush the lemon-olive oil mixture over the rolled pizza dough, making sure to cover the surface evenly, leaving a small border around the edges.
Evenly distribute the low-fat mozzarella cheese over the dough, followed by a smooth scattering of cherry tomatoes, halved.
Carefully transfer the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated baking sheet or pizza stone in the oven.
Bake in the oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese has melted and bubbled.
While the pizza is baking, toss the arugula with a light drizzle of olive oil and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl.
Once the pizza is done, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Top the pizza with the fresh arugula salad and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
Slice the pizza into 8 pieces and serve immediately. Enjoy your fresh and healthy low-fat arugula pizza!
