Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball whole wheat pizza dough
- 0.5 cup low sodium tomato sauce
- 1 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 10 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 2 ripe tomatoes
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat.
Roll out the whole wheat pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to a thin round of about 12 inches in diameter.
Slice the tomatoes thinly and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil with garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the rolled-out dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the part-skim mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Arrange the tomato slices on top of the cheese, ensuring even coverage.
Brush the olive oil mixture over the tomatoes and the crust's edge for flavor.
Carefully transfer the prepared pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and immediately top with fresh basil leaves.
Allow the pizza to cool for a couple of minutes, then slice and serve.
