Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece Whole wheat pizza dough
- 0.5 cup Low-sodium tomato sauce
- 4 ounces Low-sodium salami, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Grated parmesan cheese
- 0.5 medium Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 medium Bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or a baking sheet inside to heat up.
Roll out the whole wheat pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness, aiming for a 12-inch diameter.
Brush the rolled-out dough with olive oil and carefully transfer it onto a piece of parchment paper.
Spread the low-sodium tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving about half an inch of the edge uncovered for the crust.
Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the tomato sauce evenly.
Arrange the low-sodium salami slices over the cheese, ensuring even distribution.
Scatter the sliced red onion and bell pepper over the top of the salami.
Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the toppings.
Season with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and optional crushed red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
Using the parchment paper, transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and crispy and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and allow it to cool for a couple of minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving warm.
