Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 ml Warm water
- 1 tsp Active dry yeast
- 300 g All-purpose flour
- 50 g Whole wheat flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 150 g Low-fat mozzarella cheese
- 150 ml Tomato sauce
- 10 pieces Fresh basil leaves
- 10 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 1 tsp Oregano
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine 200 ml of warm water with 1 tsp of active dry yeast and let it sit for 5 minutes until it foams.
Add 1 tsp of honey and 1 tbsp of olive oil to the yeast mixture.
In a separate bowl, mix 300 g of all-purpose flour, 50 g of whole wheat flour, and 1 tsp of salt.
Gradually add the flour mixture to the yeast mixture and knead the dough for about 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 60 minutes or until it doubles in size.
Once the dough has risen, preheat your oven to its highest setting (around 250°C or 482°F) and place a pizza stone or baking tray inside to heat.
Punch down the dough and divide it into two equal portions. Roll each portion out into thin, round pizza bases.
Spread 75 ml of tomato sauce over each base, leaving a small border around the edges.
Slice the cherry tomatoes and scatter them evenly over the pizzas.
Sprinkle 75 g of low-fat mozzarella cheese over each pizza.
Add fresh basil leaves and 1 tsp of oregano over the pizzas for seasoning.
Carefully transfer the pizzas onto the preheated pizza stone or baking tray and bake them for about 8-10 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbling.
Remove from the oven, slice, and serve immediately.
