Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball Whole Wheat Pizza Dough
- 1 cup Low-Sodium Tomato Sauce
- 1.5 cups Mozzarella Cheese (low-sodium, shredded)
- 4 ounces Low-Sodium Italian Sausage
- 0.5 cup Red Bell Pepper
- 0.5 cup Mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried Basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If you have a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat up.
Roll out the whole wheat pizza dough to your preferred thickness on a lightly floured surface.
Lightly brush the rolled-out dough with olive oil. Spread the low-sodium tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded low-sodium mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
In a pan over medium heat, crumble the low-sodium Italian sausage and cook until browned. Drain any excess fat.
Distribute the cooked sausage evenly over the cheese layer on the pizza.
Slice the red bell pepper and mushrooms thinly. Arrange them evenly on top of the sausage.
Sprinkle the oregano, basil, garlic powder, and black pepper over the top of the pizza for added flavor.
Transfer the pizza to the oven. If using a pizza stone, you can use a peel to move it onto the stone.
Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the crust is golden and the cheese is bubbly and starting to brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.
Slice the pizza into 8 pieces. Serve warm and enjoy your delicious low-sodium classic sausage pizza!
