Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (about 1 pound) Whole wheat pizza dough
- 0.5 cup Low sodium tomato sauce
- 1 cup, shredded Low sodium mozzarella cheese
- 20 slices Low sodium beef pepperoni
- 0.5 medium, thinly sliced Red bell pepper
- 0.25 medium, thinly sliced Yellow onion
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 5 large, chopped Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up as well.
Roll out the pizza dough on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle. Make sure it's thin and even to bake perfectly.
Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled pizza pan or a piece of parchment paper.
Spread the low sodium tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a slight border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded low sodium mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Arrange the low sodium beef pepperoni slices on top of the cheese in a single layer.
Distribute the sliced red bell pepper and onion evenly over the pepperoni.
Drizzle olive oil over the top and sprinkle with dried oregano and garlic powder for added flavor.
Carefully transfer the pizza to the preheated oven (or onto the hot pizza stone) and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Garnish with chopped fresh basil leaves before serving for a fragrant finish.
