Crafted with a tender whole wheat pizza dough base, vibrant low sodium tomato sauce, and creamy shredded mozzarella cheese, this recipe packs all the flavor while keeping the salt in check. Topped with thinly sliced low sodium ham, fresh mushrooms, red onion, and crisp red bell peppers, each bite bursts with savory goodness and garden-fresh textures.

Perfectly baked on a pizza stone for that golden crust and bubbling cheese, it's ready in just 35 minutes, making it an ideal quick dinner option for health-conscious pizza lovers.
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C). Place a pizza stone or an upside-down baking sheet in the oven while it preheats.
On a clean, lightly floured surface, roll out the pizza dough to a 12-inch circle. Sprinkle a pizza peel or another upside-down baking sheet with cornmeal to prevent sticking, then transfer the dough onto it.
Brush the rolled-out dough with olive oil. Spread the low sodium tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the shredded low sodium mozzarella cheese over the sauce.
Evenly distribute the sliced low sodium ham, mushrooms, red onion, and red bell pepper over the cheese.
Sprinkle the dried oregano, basil, and garlic powder evenly over the top of the pizza.
Carefully slide the pizza from the peel onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before slicing. Serve warm.
