Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 12-inch crust Pizza dough (low sodium)
- 0.5 cup Tomato sauce (no salt added)
- 8 ounces Fresh mozzarella cheese (low sodium)
- 12 leaves Fresh basil leaves
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). Place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet on the middle rack to heat.
Roll out the low sodium pizza dough on a floured surface to form a 12-inch round crust.
Transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Spread the no-salt-added tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
Slice the fresh low sodium mozzarella cheese into thin rounds and arrange evenly over the tomato sauce.
Drizzle olive oil over the cheese and sprinkle garlic powder and black pepper evenly on top.
Optionally, sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.
Carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the hot pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
Remove the pizza from the oven and top it with fresh basil leaves.
Let the pizza cool for a minute, then slice into equal pieces and serve immediately.
