Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package Whole wheat pizza dough
- 1 cup Low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 2 links Low-fat chicken sausage
- 0.75 cup Pizza sauce
- 0.5 Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 0.5 Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- Olive oil cooking spray
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.125 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough into a 12-inch round. Place the dough on a pizza stone or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Spray the dough lightly with olive oil cooking spray and sprinkle with garlic powder to add flavor to the crust.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
Slice the low-fat chicken sausage into thin rounds and distribute them evenly over the sauce.
Scatter the shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese over the top of the sausage.
Arrange the thinly sliced red bell pepper and red onion evenly over the cheese.
Sprinkle the dried oregano over the pizza.
Place the pizza in the preheated oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and, if desired, a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes for a little heat.
Slice the pizza into 8 wedges and serve immediately.
