Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon Active dry yeast
- 175 ml Warm water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Sugar
- 200 grams Tomato sauce (no added sugar)
- 100 grams Low-fat mozzarella cheese
- 10 pieces Fresh basil leaves
- 100 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon Oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the warm water, active dry yeast, and sugar. Stir until dissolved, and let it sit for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture starts to froth.
In a large mixing bowl, mix the whole wheat flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the yeast mixture and olive oil.
Stir until the mixture begins to come together, then knead it on a lightly floured surface for about 7-10 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 220°C (428°F). Once the dough has doubled in size, punch it down and roll it out on a floured surface to your desired thickness.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a lightly greased pizza pan or baking sheet.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the surface of the dough, leaving a half-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the low-fat mozzarella cheese over the tomato sauce.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half and distribute them evenly over the cheese.
Tear the fresh basil leaves and scatter them on top, followed by a sprinkle of oregano and red pepper flakes.
Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden-brown and the cheese has melted.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing.
Serve hot and enjoy your low-fat Italian pizza!
