Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 packet Active dry yeast
- 1 cup Warm water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 6 cloves Minced garlic
- 1.5 cups Low sodium mozzarella cheese
- 1 bunch Fresh basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Balsamic glaze
- 1 tablespoon Salt-free Italian seasoning
Instructions
In a medium bowl, dissolve the active dry yeast in warm water. Stir in the honey and let it sit for 5 minutes until it becomes frothy.
Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and gradually mix in the all-purpose flour, forming a soft dough. Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5-6 minutes until smooth and elastic.
Place the dough in a lightly oiled bowl, cover with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for about 1 hour or until it doubles in size.
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
Punch down the risen dough and roll it out on a lightly floured surface into a 12-inch circle.
Transfer the rolled-out dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the dough generously with olive oil and sprinkle minced garlic evenly over the surface.
Top the pizza with low sodium mozzarella cheese and sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes, ground black pepper, and salt-free Italian seasoning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before adding fresh basil leaves on top.
Before serving, drizzle balsamic glaze over the pizza as a final touch.
Slice and enjoy your low sodium garlic pizza!
