Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Whole wheat pizza dough
- 0.5 cup Unsalted tomato sauce
- 8 ounces Fresh mozzarella cheese, low-sodium
- 0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Cornmeal
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat.
Prepare your work surface by sprinkling the cornmeal to prevent the dough from sticking.
Roll out the whole wheat pizza dough into a 12-inch circle or to your preferred thickness.
Transfer the dough onto a pizza peel or baking sheet if not using a pizza stone.
Brush the surface of the dough lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder and black pepper.
Spread the unsalted tomato sauce evenly over the crust, leaving a 1-inch border for the crust.
Slice the fresh mozzarella into thin rounds or tear into pieces and distribute evenly over the tomato sauce.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and scatter them over the mozzarella cheese.
Carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or place the baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbling and lightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
Scatter fresh basil leaves over the top of the pizza.
Drizzle with balsamic glaze for added flavor.
Slice and serve warm, enjoying the vibrant flavors of your low sodium Caprese pizza.
