Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 ball (about 12 ounces) Whole wheat pizza dough
- 0.5 cup No salt added tomato sauce
- 1 cup Low-sodium shredded mozzarella cheese
- 4 ounces, thinly sliced Low-sodium cooked ham
- 0.5 piece, thinly sliced Red bell pepper
- 0.5 piece, thinly sliced Yellow bell pepper
- 0.25 cup, thinly sliced Red onion
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to a 12-inch circle.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet or a pizza peel if using a pizza stone.
Brush the olive oil over the surface of the dough.
Spread the no salt added tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border for the crust.
Sprinkle the low-sodium shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the sauce.
Evenly distribute the thinly sliced low-sodium ham, red bell pepper, yellow bell pepper, and red onion over the cheese.
Season with freshly ground black pepper.
Carefully slide the pizza into the preheated oven. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool slightly.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
Slice the pizza into 8 wedges and serve hot. Enjoy your healthy, low-sodium pizza!
