Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 0.75 cups Warm water (110°F/45°C)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 6 ounces Low-fat turkey sausage
- 1 cup Low-fat shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Pizza sauce
- 6 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Cornmeal (for dusting)
Instructions
In a small bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water. Let sit for 5-10 minutes until frothy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil, stirring until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes, until smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a clean kitchen towel and let it rest for 15 minutes.
While the dough is resting, preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven to heat.
Cook the low-fat turkey sausage in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until browned and cooked through. Crumble the sausage into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough into a thin, 12-inch circle. Sprinkle a sheet of parchment paper with cornmeal and transfer the dough onto it.
Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges. Sprinkle the Italian seasoning and garlic powder over the sauce.
Top the pizza with the cooked turkey sausage, shredded mozzarella cheese, and fresh basil leaves.
Carefully transfer the parchment paper and pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for 2-3 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your low-fat thin crust sausage pizza!
