Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Whole wheat pizza dough
- 8 ounces Ground pork
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Fennel seeds
- 0.5 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 cup Low-sodium tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons Tomato paste (no salt added)
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese (low sodium)
- 0.5 Green bell pepper, sliced
- 0.5 Onion, sliced
- 0.5 cup Mushrooms, sliced
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves, chopped
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 475°F (245°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, fennel seeds, crushed red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage mixture and cook until browned, breaking it up into crumbles as it cooks, about 6-8 minutes. Set aside once cooked.
In a small saucepan, combine low-sodium tomato sauce, tomato paste, dried oregano, and dried basil. Heat over low heat until slightly thickened, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
Roll out the whole wheat pizza dough on a lightly floured surface to your desired thickness.
Transfer the dough onto a baking sheet or pizza stone.
Spread the tomato sauce evenly over the pizza dough.
Top with the cooked sausage, green bell pepper slices, onion slices, mushrooms, and low-sodium mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
