Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 individual size ball (approximately 4-6 oz) Whole wheat pizza dough
- 0.25 cup No-salt-added tomato sauce
- 0.75 cup Low sodium mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Fresh basil leaves, chopped (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Cornmeal or flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C) and place a pizza stone or an inverted baking sheet on the middle rack to heat.
On a clean work surface, sprinkle a little cornmeal or flour to prevent sticking. Roll out the pizza dough into a round shape with an approximate diameter of 8-10 inches.
Transfer the rolled-out dough to a piece of parchment paper.
Brush the edges of the pizza dough lightly with olive oil to help them crisp up.
Spread the no-salt-added tomato sauce evenly over the dough, leaving a small border around the edges for the crust.
Sprinkle the garlic powder and dried oregano over the tomato sauce for added flavor.
Evenly distribute the low sodium mozzarella cheese over the tomato sauce.
Using a pizza peel or a flat baking sheet, carefully slide the parchment paper with the pizza onto the preheated pizza stone or baking sheet in the oven.
Bake for approximately 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the cheese has melted and is bubbly.
Carefully remove the pizza from the oven using the peel or baking sheet and transfer it to a cutting board.
Let the pizza cool for a minute or two, then sprinkle with fresh basil leaves if desired.
Slice and serve your delicious low sodium personal cheese pizza immediately.
