Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Whole wheat pizza dough
- 0.5 cup No-salt-added tomato sauce
- 1 cup Low-sodium mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
- 4 links Low-sodium spicy chicken sausage
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Cornmeal
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to heat as well.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough to about 12 inches in diameter.
Sprinkle a baking sheet or pizza peel with cornmeal to prevent sticking, then place the rolled-out dough on it.
Spread the no-salt-added tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving about a half-inch border for the crust.
Scatter the low-sodium mozzarella cheese over the tomato sauce.
Slice the low-sodium spicy chicken sausage into thin rounds and arrange them on top of the cheese.
Sprinkle the pizza with red pepper flakes, black pepper, and garlic powder for added flavor.
Drizzle olive oil over the entire pizza to enhance depth of flavor and texture.
Transfer the pizza onto the preheated 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 bubbly and slightly charred.
Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh basil leaves.
Allow the pizza to cool for a minute or two before slicing and serving.
