Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Whole wheat pizza dough
- 0.75 cup Low sodium tomato sauce
- 1.25 cups Low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 4 ounces Lean ham, thinly sliced
- 0.5 Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 handful Fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- as needed Olive oil cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons Cornmeal
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour. Roll out the whole wheat pizza dough into a 12-inch circle.
Sprinkle a pizza peel or the back of a baking sheet with cornmeal to prevent sticking.
Place the rolled-out dough onto the prepared surface and lightly spray with olive oil cooking spray.
Spread the low sodium tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Arrange the thinly sliced lean ham and red bell pepper on top of the cheese.
Season with dried oregano and garlic powder for added flavor.
Carefully slide the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or onto a baking sheet if not using a stone.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
Enjoy your delicious and healthy low-fat ham and cheese pizza!
