Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 prepared Whole wheat pizza dough
- 0.5 cup No salt added tomato sauce
- 0.25 pound Unsalted ground beef
- 0.25 cup Low sodium turkey pepperoni
- 0.25 cup Cooked low sodium Italian sausage crumbles
- 1 cup Fresh mozzarella cheese, sliced
- 0.25 cup Red onion, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 0.25 cup Mushrooms, sliced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (no salt)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C). If using a pizza stone, place it in the oven to preheat as well.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the whole wheat pizza dough to your desired thickness. Transfer the dough onto a pizza peel or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Spread the no salt added tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges.
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the unsalted ground beef until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Drain excess fat and set aside.
Distribute the cooked ground beef, low sodium turkey pepperoni, and low sodium Italian sausage crumbles evenly over the sauce.
Arrange fresh mozzarella slices over the meat toppings, followed by the red onion, bell pepper, and mushrooms.
Sprinkle Italian seasoning evenly over the top of the pizza.
Drizzle the olive oil around the crust edge for added crispiness.
Carefully transfer the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or place the baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the pizza from the oven and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
