Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (12-inch size) Whole wheat pizza dough
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Unsalted tomato sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 cup Fresh spinach
- 0.5 unit Red bell pepper, sliced
- 0.5 unit Yellow bell pepper, sliced
- 0.25 unit Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.5 cup Mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup Low-fat mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- to taste Cracked black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet inside the oven to heat.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough to a 12-inch diameter.
Transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper. Brush the top of the dough with olive oil to prevent the sauce from soaking in.
In a small bowl, mix together the unsalted tomato sauce, garlic powder, dried oregano, and dried basil.
Spread the prepared sauce over the pizza dough, leaving a border around the edges for the crust.
Evenly distribute the fresh spinach, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, red onion, and sliced mushrooms over the sauce.
Sprinkle the low-fat mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of the vegetables.
Carefully slide the parchment paper with the assembled pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet.
Bake for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and sprinkle fresh basil leaves over the top.
Season with cracked black pepper to taste, slice, and serve warm.
